Review Source: Rich in Color Book Author: Octavia E. Butler.
Amateurishly, awkwardly drawn by someone who just doesn't know how to draw.
Looks like a middle school student drew it. Endless important conversation was prompted about diversity in the United States and the history of slavery.
More than 35 years after its release, Kindred continues to draw in new readers with its deep exploration of the violence and loss of humanity caused by slavery in the …
The story - of a young woman in 1976 California who is inexplicably transported back in time to 19th century Maryland to (repeatedly) save the life of her distant ancestor - is a powerful commentary on race, how the institution of slavery has impacted America in the present, and asks readers to consider hard, uncomfortable questions about who we as a nation are, who we want to be, and how should we remember and consider the past. Certain to keep you students or, in fact, anyone interested in understanding more about the origins of the systematized and embedded practice of racism in the US of A today!Reviewed in the United States on October 9, 2018.This is a graphic look at how racial barriers were dealt with and faced. Thoroughly enjoyable story and drawings.Reviewed in the United States on March 7, 2018.This is a wonderful adaptation of Octavia Butler's novel. Amateurishly, awkwardly drawn by someone who just doesn't know how to draw.
Kindred is an amazing, important, groundbreaking novel. This book.This book complicates race, gender, power, and family in a discourse that is very much needed in our current political reality. In hard copy, the graphic version is almost as good as the novel.
And this time the appeal should reach far beyond a sci-fi audience—because the alien planet here is the antebellum South, as seen through the horrified eyes of Dana, a …
Few stories, movie, books, comic add whatever, have filled me with as much rage, sadness and hope as this.Reviewed in the United States on February 23, 2020.Kindred is a great book, fits among the very best novels of the second half of the Twentieth Century. She keeps jumping between the modern day and the 1800s, seeing the reality of slavery. I wasn’t sure if one of the most important books in the history of literature could be accurately represented in the graphic form. Shelves: received-from-publisher, netgalley, graphic-novels. Butler is one of those accomplished science-fiction writers (Mind of My Mind, 1977; Survivor, 1978) who tap out their tales so fast and fine and clear that it's impossible to stop reading at any point. This graphic adaptation is appallingly terrible and I'm mystified by the accolades it received. I read Kindred about a year ago and I can only imagine how much more intense it would be with visuals. !Reviewed in the United States on December 18, 2017,Prefer the author novels. There were no rights, there was no hope and the books states an often overlooked situation, when atrocities become normal. Horrifically, this 40-year-old storyline about a time two centuries ago is still relevant today.The textual adaptation, by Damian Duffy, manages to keep the storyline flowing and detailed even as it drops some of the details to make room for the graphic illustrations. The brutality of American enslavement (which Butler says she toned down for her novel) is palpable throughout the storyline. I highly recommend it to all Octavia Butler fans old and new.Reviewed in the United States on May 7, 2017.Kindred is a story of a black woman, Dana, who on her birthday jumps back in time, to early 1800s. The reader, through Dana’s observations and visceral responses, is witness to how Dana realizes the levels of enslavement (ie: she is told not to kill the “Master” because everyone enslaved will be sold and families split up) and how exposure to the society affects both Dana and Kevin, making returning to the 1970’s difficult and heart-wrenching. I am overjoyed that this work is finally a graphic novel.Reviewed in the United States on February 28, 2020.I read the novels years ago and it was intense because Butler dealt honestly about the nature of humanity and slavery, about misogyny and racism, and about United States history. She saves the life of a young boy, Rufus, who is a son of a plantation owner and, surprisingly, her ancestor.
