Abstract
Focusing on Butler’s Kindred and short stories, Humann asks us to think of Butler as more than a science fiction writer. While Butler’s accolades for her contributions to the genre of science fiction are well deserved, Humann contends that Butler’s tendency to hybridize genres, and hybridize differently in different texts is what sets Butler’s fiction apart from traditional science fiction. As Humann sees it, Butler builds upon and subverts the science fiction genre by borrowing from other literary traditions as part of her storytelling.
