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.

還是看不瞭科幻……
评分瑞仔瑞仔就是這本書
评分我真的太喜歡bloodchild(兩年前在微博上刷到,隻能用臥槽來形容)和the evening and the morning and the night瞭,不但設定獵奇還隱隱討論著社會問題和哲學問題。Afterword和最後的自述在我看來有些錶達欲過強,但考慮到她個人的成長經曆和性格,也可以理解。
评分看第一遍,惡心想哭。第二第三遍之後,發現自己能感受到瞭一種異樣有趣的情感
评分物種之間為瞭共同生存的妥協,即使對兩方都是痛苦的,依然能有空間negotiate。跨物種怎樣算是有感情連結,物種的定義是什麼,什麼是生命的單位?而好像人類從未對病毒有過empathy,一切都很anthropocentric。或者隻是理智上沒有主動去妥協,被動的”共生“已經在發生:病毒毒性降低的可以傳播更多宿主存活更久。
