Muy interesante compilado de relatos. El primero y los dos últimos definitivamente son los que más me gustaron. Es una manera de encarar la ciencia ficción muy distinta a la que estoy acostumbrado a leer,.enfocándose mucho en el costado humano, en como afecta a la cotidianidad de los personajes y la sociedad la existencia de estos elementos fantásticos. Un poco lúgubre siempre, con gente que a pasa muy mal, por lo que me costo un poco engancharme al principio. Pero en general muy interesante y con ganas de leer un poco más de Butler (

I love Octavia Butler's writing. I am in general not a short-story fan, but in this case, I thought they were interesting and thought provoking. (

Following each story is an author’s note, a short essay really.

Almost all of these stories are amazing. Octavia Butler had a such a talent for creating distinct, flawed, believable characters through first-person narrative -- and here it was done with few words.

I found "Speech Sounds" and "The Evening and the Morning and the Night" particularly brilliant and haunting. (

Not all of the stories were absolutely brilliant (I didn't have that much use for the writing advice), but the ones that stuck with me REALLY stuck with me. Engaging, enjoyable, interesting, intelligent, and very thoughtful = excellent science fiction. I was also intrigued by the range of sci-fi here, from plausible diseases and decisions in a reality much like our own, to alien invasions and to alien worlds.

To sum it up, I'm planning to hunt down the rest of her novels and read them ASAP. (

"It's too easy to follow bad but attractive leaders, embrace pleasurable but destructive habits, ignore looming disaster because maybe it won't happen after all -- or maybe it will only happen to other people. That kind of thinking is part of what it means to be adolescent."

There are two, similarly-titled versions of this anthology. This work is the second collection (2005) containing 7 stories and 2 essays. See contents in the Book description CK below.

The print and e-book editions contain the same stories, essays, and afterwards by Butler and should be combined.
