Adams Street Book Club: Kindred: A Graphic Novel Adaptation
Black History Month
book club
book discussion
Meet with others to discuss Damian Duffy's graphic novel adaptation of Octavia Butler's Kindred.
More than 35 years after its release, Kindred continues to draw in new readers with its deep exploration of the violence and loss of humanity caused by slavery in the United States, and its complex and lasting impact on the present day. Adapted by celebrated academics and comics artists Damian Duffy and John Jennings, this graphic novel powerfully renders Butler's mysterious and moving story, which spans racial and gender divides in the antebellum South through the 20th century. Butler's most celebrated, critically acclaimed work tells the story of Dana, a young black woman who is suddenly and inexplicably transported from her home in 1970s California to the pre-Civil War South.
Registration is required. Please stop by the library to pick up a copy of the book. For more information or to RSVP, call 718.230.2264 or register for this event to receive information via email.
