"Delany's most controlled, and therefore his most successful,
experiment to date . . . Triton is a novel of manners -- those of a
rich and complex society in which the avowed highest good is the
free expression of each individual's personality."--Gerald Jonas,
New York Times Book Review
"An excellent novel. The author has created an innovative and
fascinating culture."--Orca

"Delany has been the cutting edge of the SF revolution for more
than ten years . . . [He] may turn out to be as important a writer
as Pynchon."--Mother Jones
"This is classic Delany that maintains a cutting edge of sheer
platinum. Delany sets his interrogation of the myth and politics of
a central culture within an infinitely richer galaxy of interwoven
margins. The dazzle always illuminates: the novel offers
vision-altering thrills on the order of paradigm shifts or sex at
its most rapturously cataclysmic."--Earl Jackson, Jr., author of
Fantastic Living: The Speculative Autobiographies of Samuel R.
Delany
