In today’s episode we are joined by our friend Bekki Fahrer to discuss one of her all-time favorite books (and now also ours), Kindred by Octavia Butler. This book broke so many barriers, and should be required reading for every American.
Before you listen to the episode, we highly recommend you seek out commentary from Black reviewers and writers, so you can hear about this book in their words and from their perspectives. We highlight a few examples below, including an essay on racism from the author herself, but there are many more.
Need to order your own copy of the book? Check out Mahogany Books, a Black-owned bookstore in DC that specializes in bestselling and classic African American books.
