In her 1979 masterpiece, Kindred, Octavia E. Butler explored time travel, American slavery, and the social tensions of race and gender-the tough stuff that keeps tying us in knots. Now the mind-bending story has been transformed into a graphic novel, adapted by Damian Duffy and illustrated by John Jennings, expanding this examination of our troubled history into a vibrant format that widens its reach to newer audiences. Come hear Duffy and Jennings along with Chicago artist Krista Franklin for a discussion of the power of Kindred and what it takes to translate a novel into a graphic novel.
