Kindred [Libby]. Recorded Books, Inc., 1998. Format: OverDrive OverDrive MP3 Audiobook, Filesize: 300MB. Format: OverDrive OverDrive Listen, Filesize: 300MB. Fiction. African American Fiction. Science Fiction. The first science fiction written by a Black woman, Kindred has become a cornerstone of Black American literature. This combination of slave memoir, fantasy, and historical fiction is a novel of rich literary complexity. Having just celebrated her 26th birthday in 1976 California, Dana, an African-American woman, is suddenly and inexplicably wrenched through time into antebellum Maryland. After saving a drowning white boy there, she finds herself staring into the barrel of a shotgun and is transported back to the present just in time to save her life. During numerous such time-defying episodes with the same young man, she realizes the challenge she's been given: to protect this young slaveholder until he can father her own great-grandmother. Author Octavia E. Butler skillfully juxtaposes the serious issues of slavery, human rights, and racial prejudice with an exciting science fiction, romance, and historical adventure. Kim Staunton's narrative talent magically transforms the listener's earphones into an audio time machine. Media Type: Audiobook. Importer Version: 2014-01-08.01 Import Date: 2022-12-12 20:00:03.
