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.

實在是很奇怪的一個集子……作者自述什麼讓自己不舒服就會寫什麼,果然說到做到
評分看第一遍,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
評分我真的太喜歡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。
評分這個作者寫的文字都太有吸引力瞭。充滿瞭瘋狂的想象力,非常佩服。
評分一半很好看,一半???
