Octavia E Butler's Kindred: The Hold Of Ancestors Through Time
TW/CW: This episode mentions slavery, anti-Black racism and violence,, family separation, genocide, body horror, death, suicide, and rape.
This week's episode on Octavia E Butler's time travel masterpiece, Kindred, goes deep into the book's themes the legacy of slavery through time and space, and the complexity of emotions when you know that the line of your ancestry is drawn with blood and tears. Although the episode does spoil the plot from beginning to end, it won't spoil the experience of reading Butler's inimitable writing.
The video by @onyxpages (35. Kindred by Octavia Butler - Graphic Novel (Also: Being Forced to Care About Characters)) referenced in the episode can be found here.
