“Repressive societies always seemed to understand the danger of "wrong" ideas": Rare first edition of Octavia Butler's Kindred
First edition of Butler's bestselling novel. Octavo, original half cloth. Near fine in a very good dust jacket with loss to the rear panel. Jacket illustration by Larry Schwinger. Jacket typography by Elizabeth Levine. First editions of this classic Butler novel are difficult to find.
In this spellbinding novel, Octavia E. Butler has written a closely observed, intensely felt account of a young black woman who is drawn irresistibly into her family's past. Superimposing a fully realized historical chronicle on the classic science fiction premise, Kindred explores the dynamics and dilemmas of antebellum slavery from the sensibility of a late 20th-century black woman who finds herself being shuttled through time, existing at times in her Los Angeles, California home, and at others on her ancestor's pre-Civil War Maryland plantation.
