Review
" A grand job these tales of Samuel Delany s have a fine, rich strangeness . Beautifully intricate and gloriously mystifying, all this intricate tapestry of advanced science and decayed society the author has portrayed marvelously well. --P. Schuyler Miller, " Analog Magazine"
A writer of consistently high ambition and achievement Delany s fiction demands and rewards the kind of close reading that one ungrudgingly brings to the serious novelists .Sentence, phrase by phrase, [he] invites the reader to collaborate in the process of creation. The reader who accepts this invitation has an extraordinarily satisfying experience in store for him/her. --Gerald Jonas, " The New York Times Book Review"
Delany has a fearsomely stocked intellect, and a wider range of experience than most writers can even imagine . He is brilliant, driven, prolific. --"The Nation""
