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.
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。。。
评分我真的太喜欢bloodchild(两年前在微博上刷到,只能用卧槽来形容)和the evening and the morning and the night了,不但设定猎奇还隐隐讨论着社会问题和哲学问题。Afterword和最后的自述在我看来有些表达欲过强,但考虑到她个人的成长经历和性格,也可以理解。
评分#Speech Sounds# On what basis can one judge human actions as good, bad, or otherwise? What happens when humans lose certain aspects of themselves? ‘Anger, frustration, hopelessness, insane jealousy...how many more of him were there—people willing to destroy what they could not have?’
评分在图书馆被吓cry了……然后发现这是个爱情故事。三观崩坏。
