By: Octavia ButlerExperience the novel that redefined American literature by the New York Times bestselling author of Parable of the Sower, MacArthur “Genius," and Nebula and Hugo award winner
Selected by The Atlantic as one of the "most consequential novels of the past 100 years"
"I lost an arm on my last trip home. My left arm."
Dana's 26th birthday celebration ends when she's ripped from 1976 California and thrust onto a Maryland slave plantation in 1815. Her mission: keep alive the white boy who will grow up to assault her ancestor—because without him, she'll never be born.
Every trip back grows more dangerous. Dana feels the lash, wears the chains, endures the daily terror that defined millions of lives. She can't just read about slavery's horrors—she lives them, bleeds from them, nearly breaks under them.
Butler doesn't let you observe from a safe distance. You're trapped in Dana's skin as she navigates impossible choices: submit to survive, or resist and risk everything. You'll feel her desperation as she fights to preserve her humanity while the plantation's brutality threatens to consume her.
This isn't historical fiction—it's time travel that cuts straight to the bone of American racism. Butler pioneered the neo-slavery narrative that inspired Colson Whitehead's Underground Railroad and Ta-Nehisi Coates's Water Dancer. But Kindred remains unmatched in its raw power to make slavery's legacy feel immediate, personal, and inescapable.
You'll finish this book changed. Dana's story will lodge itself in your chest and refuse to leave. You'll understand, in ways textbooks never taught you, how the past lives in our present—and why that matters more than ever.
“Where stories about American slavery are often gratuitous, reducing its horror to explicit violence and brutality, Kindred is controlled and precise” (New York Times).
“Reading Octavia Butler taught me to dream big, and I think it’s absolutely necessary that everybody have that freedom and that willingness to dream.”
—N. K. Jemisin

Could be better
Color: Black, Size: 3X-Large
It’s not bad. But!, I wish it was an inch longer. I got a 3x and idk why manufacturers always increase the neck hole on larger sizes. It’s a femininely large neck hole. I may send it back ? Not sure yet.

Excellent
Color: Navy Blue, Size: Large
Excellent product. Attractive weave design. Fabric is comfortable and thick enough to hold its form without being too warm. Holds up well to machine washing. I ordered a second set in another color and also an other shirt in a contrasting color and design. Perfect fit.

It fits true to size.
This fits my husband perfect. It is not too sporty but sporty enough. If we were going somewhere dressed casual this suit is it and he would still be comfortable. He is a sporty guy always. It is nice to see him a little more dressed, but still comfortable. This is great material.
