About the Author

Samuel R. Delany changed the tone, the content, and the very shape of modern science fiction with his acclaimed novels and stories that bridged the apparent gap between science and fantasy to explore gay sexuality, racial and class consciousness, and the limits of imagination and memory. His vast body of work includes memoir, comics, space adventure, mainstream novels, homosexual erotica, and literary criticism of a high order.

Reviews

"A talent very close to time travel--or magic."
--Locus "The most remarkable prose stylist to have emerged from the culture of American science fiction."
--William Gibson "I consider Delany not only one of the most important science fiction writers of the present generation, but a fascinating writer in general who has invented a new style."
--Umberto Eco
