I'm just in awe of Octavia E Butler and want to read everything she's written. This is my third book of hers and I continue to be absolutely floored by how much she packs into her fiction. The characters are alive, the plot is thrilling, the book induces reflections that stay with you long after you've finished reading.
The premise of Kindred is brilliant and asks difficult questions about race, power, and not-so-distant history. There was a fantastic essay about the book at the end of my copy that highlighted some excellent points about the literary significance of this novel as well as the deep symbolism throughout. I highly highly recommend reading this book.
