![]() ![]() ![]() Graphic novel adaptations make texts initially more accessible to readers who would be slow to pick up the prose versions for any number of fears. This includes the release of Kindred: A Graphic Novel, which despite its stark, brutal rendering, is a beautiful love letter by John Jennings and Damian Duffy to Butler and her original text. Teachers and librarians who loved the prose book will be eager to add Kindred: A Graphic Novel to their collections and curriculum, and this CBLDF resource is aimed at streamlining that process. Octavia Butler’s shift in the last 40 years to ever expanding popularity in both academia and popular culture is due not only to her brilliant (and at times prescient) work, but also to generations of fans heralding her books to anyone who will listen.
