Read 'n' Watch Discussion - Kindred

As usual, I'm scheduling our next Read 'n' Watch way ahead of time, so people have time to both read and watch this one. This is more than a book club discussion. These are focused on books that have also been made into movies or TV shows, so we can discuss the differences, which we prefer, how they each handled the material, etc.

For our next one, we'll discuss Kindred by Octavia Butler. The TV show can be found on Hulu.

Octavia E. Butler's 1979 bestseller Kindred is a time-traveling dystopian science fiction novel that explores the legacy of slavery and its impact on the present. The story follows Dana, a Black woman in 1970s California who's inexplicably transported back in time to a Maryland plantation circa 1815. There, she's enslaved and must save the life of Rufus, a young white ancestor, to preserve her own.

We'll have lunch at Cuenellis (Peruvian rotisserie chicken), by Airport Cargo road, while we chat. Let's have some intellectual fun!

As usual, RSVPs close the day before the event. Please make any changes before then. No-shows will be removed from the group. (This includes people who drop after RSVPs close.)
