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. 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. This first volume in the Library of America edition of Butler's collected works opens with her masterpiece, Kindred, one of the landmark American novels of the last half century. In 1995 she became the first science fiction writer to receive a MacArthur Fellowship, in recognition of her achievement in creating new aspirations for the genre and for American literature. She broke new ground with books that featured complex Black female protagonists-"I wrote myself in," she would later recall-establishing herself as one of thepioneers of the Afrofuturist aesthetic. Butler used the conventions of science fiction to explore the dangerous legacy of racism in America in harrowingly personal terms. The definitive edition of the complete works of the "grand dame" of American science fiction begins with this volume gathering two novels and her collected storiesĪn original and eerily prophetic writer, Octavia E.

Derby Girl by Shauna Cross5/29/2023 I fell off screenwriting and accidentally wrote a novel and the novel really pushed the screenwriting through. I was more of a frustrated screenwriter who went ass-backwards, basically. Shauna Cross: My whole thing is I became an accidental novelist. I was curious of how the process of doing both the book and the movie went for you? It's interesting because you hear about people like John Irving with The Cider House Rules, it took him like 13 years to write the screenplay. The pitch sold so I ended up writing the book and the movie sort of simultaneously. The book sold pretty quickly and the movie sold immediately following that. I wasn't sure it was going to be a movie or whatever so I just wrote the book for fun. I just started this as a lark to write a book, just because I kind of had to get it off my chest. I started as a screenwriter, writing things here and there in Austin but nothing had been made yet. I read that you were basically shopping both the book and the movie around at the same time. There's also a great documentary about the revival of the sport, and I wanted more of just one girl's personal story versus a whole documentary that had already been done. I always think its fun to be able to shade and tweak things to your point of view. Shauna Cross: Probably because my own, complete, documentary experiences would be a little more boring. I was curious why you didn't go the non-fiction route with the book instead of doing this fictional novel? Your book Derby Girl is based off your experiences in roller derby.

Matthew desmond5/28/2023 Without this stability, those watercolors will run off the canvas and the possibility of home will remain elusive and difficult to capture. What if the canvas intended to serve as the piece’s foundation is flawed? Cracked? Marred beyond functionality? Whether it be a mansion, an apartment, or a trailer, the physical structure of a house creates a stable location where life (as we each understand and experience it) has the opportunity to unfurl with quiet confidence. What if, though, as those translucent colors bleed across the white space, blending and pooling into each other, they begin to run off or leak through onto the floor? The majority of people, however, probably experience a world in between these extremes-a conglomeration of light and dark, a watercolor of varying shades and colors in coherent disarray. For others still, the concept of home is simply non-existent. For some it is a world of sorrow and fragmentation while for others home manifests memories of laughter, warm meals, and sliding across worn wood floors in equally worn socks. By: Lindsay Isler To every person, the word “home” evokes a different world.
