This first volume in the Library of America edition of Octavia E. Butler's collected
works opens with her masterpiece, Kindred, one of the landmark American novels of
the last half century. Its heroine, Dana, a Black woman, is pulled back and forth
between the present and the pre-Civil War past, where she finds herself enslaved on
the plantation of a white ancestor whose life she must save to preserve her own. In
Fledgling, an amnesiac discovers that she is a vampire, with a difference: she is
a new, experimental birth with brown skin, giving her the fearful ability to go out
in sunlight. Rounding out the volume are eight short stories and five essays--including
two never before collected, plus newly researched explanatory notes prepared by scholar
Gerry Canavan. Butler's friend, the writer and editor Nisi Shawl, provides an introduction
