OctaviaButler.net A fan blog for Octavia E. Butler, writer.

In 2001, Kindred, Octavia Butler's landmark 1979 novel, was brought to life in an exceptional audio adaptation. This adaptation starred Alfre Woodard as "Dana" and was produced by Brian Smith and Jacqueline Cuscuna for Seeing Ear Theatre (SET). In 2007, SciFi.com closed SET and the link to the adaptation of Octavia Butler's Kindred at scifi.com/kindred was lost. Until now. For the past several weeks, a link on the left sidebar has quietly led to a reconstruction of the SET Kindred site. Today, I formally announce that the special section for the drama is open. Enjoy listening!
