Interior is tight, clean, & unmarked. 8vo. - over 7¾' in - 9¾' in. // 'Publisher Marketing: Three marvelously structured stories trace the intricate… interdependencies of memory, experience, and the self. Wesleyan University Press has made a significant commitment to the publication of the work of Samuel R. Delany, including this recent fiction, now available in paperback. The three long stories collected in Atlantis: three tales -- 'Atlantis: Model 1924,' 'Erik, Gwen, and D. H. Lawrence's Aesthetic of Unrectified Feeling,' and 'Citre et Trans' -- explore problems of memory, history, and transgression. Winner of both the Hugo and Nebula awards, and Guest of Honor at the 1995 World Science Fiction Convention in Glasgow, Delany was won a broad audience among fans of postmodern fiction with his theoretically sophisticated science fiction and fantasy. The stories of Atlantis: three tales are not SF, yet Locus, the trade publication of the science fiction field, notes that the title story 'has an odd, unsettling power not usually associated with mainstream fiction.' A writer whose audience extends across and beyond science fiction, black, gay, postmodern, and academic constituencies, Delany is finally beginning to achieve the broader recognition he deserves.' -- publisher.

Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Hardcover. 8vo. Published by Wesleyan University/Published by University Press of New England, Hanover, NH. 1995. 224 pgs. Signed and inscribed Samuel Delany on the dedication page. First Edition/First Printing. DJ has light shelf-wear present to the DJ extremities. Bound in cloth boards with tit…les present to the spine. Boards have light shelf-wear present to the extremities. No ownership marks present. Text is clean and free of marks. Binding tight and solid. Delany, who's best known for his science fiction (Nova, Dhalgren) takes a variety of literary turns in these three novellas that chronicle the experience of the African American writer in the 20th century. The longest story, "Atlantis: Model 1924," focuses on the impressions of a 17-year-old African American who travels from North Carolina to New York to join his family. Using a mysterious unnamed character who vanishes from a rowboat beneath the Brooklyn Bridge, Delany draws a variety of parallels between the mythic aspects of the Big Apple and the legendary city under the sea, framing the young man's perspective against the achievements of such early 20th-century black luminaries as Paul Robeson, Hart Crane and Jean Toomer. In "Erik, Gwen, and D. H. Lawrence's Esthetic of Unrectified Feeling," Delany paints a portrait of the black artist as a young man, musing on the use of music lessons, art classes and New York private schools to help instill and sustain the instinct to create. "Citre et Trans" leans more heavily on plot and narrative and deals, albeit with more style and seriousness, with some of the themes of the author's recently published Hogg. Here, a bisexual African American writer, living in Greece in the mid-1960s, must confront the emotional effects of rape after his roommate picks up a pair of Greek sailors. Balanced and full of intricate layers of prose, these novellas present a potpourri of literary references, detailed flashbacks and experimental page layouts. Delany seamlessly meshes graceful prose, cultural and philosophical depth and a knowledge of different forms and voices into a truly heady, literate blend.; 6.25 X 0.75 X 9.25 inches; 224 pages; Signed by Author.
