Das Verhalten der Menschen untereinander ist trotz der Erfahrung des Atomkrieges nach wie vor von äußerster Aggressivität geprägt. Schuld daran sind die menschlichen Gene, wie die Fremden als perfekte biologische Gentechniker wissen. Die Menschen können einfach gar nicht anders als fremdenfeindlich sein und sich selbst vernichten. Hierin liegt die bedenklich Botschaft des Buches: Wir sind nicht viel mehr als Marionetten unserer Gene, die für unser gesamtes Sozialverhalten verantwortlich sind. Nach Ende des ersten Bandes tritt Lilith, die bisherige Protagonistin, an den Rand des Geschehens, erlahmt die Handlung und hat sich die Problematik erschöpft. Man kann das Buch also getrost nach 300 Seiten zuklappen, oder, wenn man denn will, besser gleich die Einzelausgabe des ersten Teiles zur Hand nehmen.
All of humanity must share the world with uncanny, unimaginable alien creatures after war destroys Earth, in an omnibus edition containing three class science fiction novels--Dawn, Adulthood Rites, and Imago. The acclaimed trilogy that comprises Lilith's Brood is multiple Hugo and Nebula award-winner Octavia E. Butler at her best. Presented for the first time in one volume, with an introduction by Joan Slonczewski, Ph. D., Lilith's Brood is a profoundly evocative, sensual--and disturbing--epic of human transformation. Lilith Lyapo is in the Andes, mourning the death of her family, when war destroys Earth. Centuries later, she is resurrected, by miraculously powerful unearthly beings, the Oankali. Driven by an irresistible need to heal others, the Oankali are rescuing our dying planet by merging genetically with mankind. But Lilith and all humanity must now share the world with uncanny, unimaginably alien creatures: Their own children. This is their story. No library descriptions found. |

Ok, actually one thing I can say about it: Really Alien Aliens. Like, totally fucking fantastic aliens and alien culture and alien biology. Very few people are even decent at writing really alien cultures; Octavia Butler blows them all out of the solar system.
Most of what I'm struggling with is whether the ending was effective---which also depends on what was the point Butler was trying to make. (spoiler-cutting vague talk about the direction of the narrative that doesn't reference any specific plot points.)
