Sci-Fi Pioneer Octavia Butler

Listen in app
Octavia Butler's 1979 book, Kindred, is now a series for FX on Hulu. In 1993, the pioneering author, who died in 2006, told Fresh Air she made up her own stories so that she could see herself — a Black woman — in them. Kindred is about a writer who involuntarily time travels to the Antebellum South.

Also we remember lesbian pulp fiction writer Marijane Meaker who died last month.
