Presenting themselves as travelers, with Dana the property of Kevin, the duo spends time in their new realm witnessing the horrors of slavery and helping the residents of the plantation – enslaved and slaveholders alike.īutler was a time traveler in her own way, a MacArthur “genius” whose work presaged the climate crisis and the racial reckoning of recent years. He’s a musician, and a reliable and caring escort to Dana’s subsequent travels to the antebellum south in Kindred, the new FX on Hulu series based on Octavia E Butler’s 1979 classic that married science fiction and contemporary romance, and interrogated the legacy of slavery, and interracial relationships. Kevin turns out to be a keeper, more romantic than his initial correspondence would suggest.
