\n Selected by The Atlantic as one of THE GREAT AMERICAN NOVELS.\u00a0 (“You have to read them.”)<\/p>\n

From the New York Times bestselling author of Parable of the Sower and MacArthur \u201cGenius\u201d Grant, Nebula, and Hugo award winner <\/p>\n

The visionary time-travel classic whose Black female hero is pulled through time to face the horrors of American slavery and explores the impacts of racism, sexism, and white supremacy then and now. <\/p>\n

\u201cI lost an arm on my last trip home. My left arm.\u201d<\/p>\n

Dana\u2019s torment begins when she suddenly vanishes on her 26th birthday from California, 1976, and is dragged through time to antebellum Maryland to rescue a boy named Rufus, heir to a slaveowner\u2019s plantation. She soon realizes the purpose of her summons to the past: protect Rufus to ensure his assault of her Black ancestor so that she may one day be born. As she endures the traumas of slavery and the soul-crushing normalization of savagery, Dana fights to keep her autonomy and return to the present.<\/p>\n

Blazing the trail for neo-slavery narratives like Colson Whitehead\u2019s The Underground Railroad and Ta-Nehisi Coates\u2019s The Water Dancer, Butler takes one of speculative fiction\u2019s oldest tropes and infuses it with lasting depth and power. Dana not only experiences the cruelties of slavery on her skin but also grimly learns to accept it as a condition of her own existence in the present. \u201cWhere stories about American slavery are often gratuitous, reducing its horror to explicit violence and brutality, Kindred is controlled and precise\u201d (New York Times).<\/p>\n

\u201cReading Octavia Butler taught me to dream big, and I think it\u2019s absolutely necessary that everybody have that freedom and that willingness to dream.\u201d\u00a0
\u2014N. K. Jemisin\u00a0<\/p>\n

Developed for television by writer\/executive producer Branden Jacobs-Jenkins (Watchmen), executive producers also include Joe Weisberg and Joel Fields (The Americans, The Patient), and Darren Aronofsky (The Whale). Janicza Bravo (Zola) is director and an executive producer of the pilot. Kindred stars Mallori Johnson, Micah Stock, Ryan Kwanten, and Gayle Rankin.
