Kindred, Anniversary Edition

By Octavia Butler

If you are not yet a fan of Octavia Butler, you need to read Kindred. If you are a lifelong fan of the science fiction/fantasy virtuoso, then maybe it’s time you re-read Kindred. Published in 1979, Kindred tells the story of a modern Black woman who repeatedly is forced (by what magical entity, she does not know) to time travel to the Antebellum South. The writing is beautiful and gripping and the issues it raises around slavery, ownership, gender, hate, love, and family resonate just as clearly with readers living in 2025.
