Kindred por Octavia E. Butler

Set in 1976 California, Kindred is the story of a 26-year-old black woman who disappears from her home and is transported to 1819 Maryland. She saves a white boy named Rufus from drowning then is immediately brought back to her present. Dana returns to the past again and again, each time staying for longer and under more dangerous circumstances.

Adulthood Rites (Lilith's Brood, 2) por Octavia E. Butler

Good. The mind of Butler was whoo!

I was fully immersed in the story and watching Akin’s journey of becoming something not quite human or alien. But this was very slow-moving and long-winded, so I found myself getting fatigued. I don’t think I’ll finish this trilogy, at least no time soon, but it’s not bad at all.

The humans here are so distinctly human that they’re frustrating.

SN: I cannot get over once Akin reaches puberty, how down bad he was for those sea anemone-looking thangs lol… (mais)

A Few Rules for Predicting the Future: An Essay por Octavia E. Butler

Octavia Butler's essay is as observant and wise as I've come to expect of her.

The illustrations look like a beginner's attempt to use photoshop and detract from the essay. Manzel Bowman's collages do not suit this or really any of Butler's works.
