Description
"Octavia E. Butler is one of the most important figures in speculative fiction history; a pioneering African-American author who won multiple awards and changed the very foundation of the genre. 'Kindred' is perhaps her most iconic novel, a ground-breaking time-travel thriller that plunges its heroine into pre-Civil War America, challenging the reader to witness the horrors of slavery. For this edition, celebrated artist James E. Ransome was commissioned to provide a series of emotive illustrations and a beautifully simple binding design. In her exclusive introduction, author and journalist Tananarive Due draws on interviews with Butler to take a deeper look at this essential novel, and the questions it raises about history, guilt and survival"--From Folio Society's description.
