It is a shattering work of art with much to say about love, hate, slavery, and racial dilemmas, then and now." —Sam Frank, Los Angeles Herald-Examiner"In Kindred, Octavia Butler creates a road for the impossible and a balm for the unbearable. It is everything the literature of science fiction can be." —Walter Mosley"Truly terrifying . . . A book you'll find hard to put down."—Essence"Butler's books are exceptional . . . She is a realist, writing the most detailed social criticism and creating some of the most fascinating female characters in the genre . . . real women caught in impossible situations."—Dorothy Allison, Village Voice"Butler's literary craftsmanship is superb."—Washington Post Book World"One of the most original, thought-provoking works examining race and identity."—Lynell George, Los Angeles TimesThis powerful novel about a modern black woman transported back in time to a slave plantation in the antebellum South is the perfect introduction to Butler's work and perspectives for those not usually enamored of science fiction. . .A harrowing, haunting story." —John Marshall, Seattle Post-Intelligencer "No other work of fantasy or science fiction writings brings the intimate environment of the antebellum South to life better than Octavia E. Butler's Kindred." —Kevin Weston, San Francisco Chronicle "A celebrated mainstay of college courses in women's studies and black literature and culture; some colleges require it as mandatory freshman reading." —Linell Smith, The Baltimore Sun"Kindred is as much a novel of psychological horror as it is a novel of science fiction. . .a work of art whose individual accomplishment defies categorization." —Barbara Strickland, The Austin Chronicle"A startling and engrossing commentary on the complex actuality and continuing heritage of American slavery." —Sherley Anne Williams, Ms."Her books are disturbing, unsettling… In a field dominated by white male authors, Butler's African-American feminist perspective is unique, and uniquely suited to reshape the boundaries of the sci-fi genre." —Bill Glass, L. A.

0 internautes sur 0 ont trouvé ce commentaire utile.Highly recommendedPar Morgane DI was recommended this book by several friends and was not disappointed. The story line is very original, a slight twist of sci-fi but just to serve the plot. The descriptions of antebellum South and the life on the plantation are heartbreaking but, alas so true. They not only serve the story but are also educational material to learn more about American history. The parallels between modern and antebellum america bring about a lot of questioning on the parts of the readers. I would particularly recommend this book as a teaching material on the history of African-American history. Octavia's writing style is simple and highly effective.
