A perfect introduction for new readers and a must-have for avid fans, this New York Times Notable Book includes "Bloodchild," winner of both the Hugo and the Nebula awards and "Speech Sounds," winner of the Hugo Award. Appearing in print for the first time, "Amnesty" is a story of a woman named Noah who works to negotiate the tense and co-dependent relationship between humans and a species of invaders. Also new to this collection is "The Book of Martha" which asks: What would you do if God granted you the ability—and responsibility—to save humanity from itself?
Like all of Octavia Butler’s best writing, these works of the imagination are parables of the contemporary world. She proves constant in her vigil, an unblinking pessimist hoping to be proven wrong, and one of contemporary literature’s strongest voices.

(Bloodchild)科幻。外星人殖民,性别界限消失,关于一个男孩的成长,关于学会担当保护家人,关于对异种的幻想。太恶心了。但是很震撼。
评分实在是很奇怪的一个集子……作者自述什么让自己不舒服就会写什么,果然说到做到
评分作者想象力真的很丰富,也有很多的讨论思索的空间,可真心不是我的菜。。。
评分只读了bloodchild
