Strange Lands: a Sci-Fi Book Club

Pardon the late posting of this event: it's on for this Wednesday!

Arlington Public Library presents a monthly Sci-Fi book club: Strange Lands.

For our November meeting, we'll discuss Octavia Butler's 1979 "Kindred":

"Dana, a modern black woman, is celebrating her twenty-sixth birthday with her new husband when she is snatched abruptly from her home in California and transported to the antebellum South. Rufus, the white son of a plantation owner, is drowning, and Dana has been summoned to save him. Dana is drawn back repeatedly through time to the slave quarters, and each time the stay grows longer, more arduous, and more dangerous until it is uncertain whether or not Dana's life will end, long before it has a chance to begin."
