Synopsis
An insider's view of science fiction. Brilliant, humorous, ironic and lyrical, The Jewel-Hinged Jaw is a working writer's highly personal account of science fiction as an art - as a business - and as a lifelong obsession with the nature of "reality". One of the most influential SF authors in the genre, Delany discusses not only his own work, but the most important works of his colleagues - Disch, Le Guin, Russ, Zelazny, Heinlein - the handful of giants who have made science fiction the liveliest and most imaginative field in modern literature.
