One of the most complicated novels written was penned by Octavia E. Butler and that novel isAlthough wrapped in science-fiction, sort of, it’s believable. Part of the story takes place in the antebellum South and involves the miserable lives of enslaved Africans and the twisted world of white slaveholders. Here, a slave bounces between timelines; one in contemporary times and the other, in the aforementioned South.
Here’s the story. Dana James dreams of becoming a writer for television. The year is 2016 and the location is Los Angeles. Then without warning, she is sucked into the year 1815. The location is a Maryland plantation and she’s only summoned when Rufus Weylin , the young son of a plantation owner, is in mortal danger.
“Kindred” was developed by playwright Branden Jacobs-Jenkins . In the novel, Dana is married to a white man, Kevin Franklin , but in the limited series, they are just beginning to date. Adding a modern touch are the steadfast relatives who tend to stay in your business . We all have them. And there are also the two neighbors who represent white privilege and growing paranoia.
