DELANY'S many books offer not only the beauty of well-turned phrases and the spark of provocative ideas, but an illumination won from the exacting exploration of self and society. In science fiction, literary criticism, comic books, memoir, or pornography, to read Delany is to discover. Showing us what we as readers didn't already know, he freshens our eyes for what we had always accepted as familiar. Delany's writing career began in the precincts of science fiction in the early '60searning him the highest awards in the genre before he was 30and has continued through further SF landmarks (e.g., Dhalgren and Stars in My Pocket Like Grains of Sand Hogg and The Mad Man ), works of memoir and family history ( The Motion of Light in Water and Atlantis: Three Tales ), and numerous collections of essays and criticism.

6. Dani Zweig's Belated Reviews PS#7: Samuel R. Delany Samuel R. Delany is more a stylist than a storyteller. He brings considerable skill to the task of hanging complex societies and complex ideas onto http://www-users.cs.york.ac.uk/susan/sf/dani/PS_007.htm

Standard introduction for Postscripts to the Belated Reviews Belated Reviews PS#7: Samuel R. Delany Delany's books range from fairly to extremely good. A number of them would be superb if he weren't so self-conscious a stylist: You can almost see him putting the symbols in place, dusting off his myths and archetypes, designing nonstandard narrative styles and gimmicks, being clever even when it gets in the reader's way. His later books, especially, tend to be easier to admire than to enjoy. (Another way of looking at it is that he's the sort of author who is more likely to win Nebulas than to win Hugos. (Yes, I know...) Delany is exceedingly self-conscious about the process of writing, of communicating with a reader, and this is a major theme in a number of books again, something likely to interest fellow authors.) I think of Delany primarily as a writer of the sixties and seventies though he might disagree. If there is such a thing as a typical Delany novel, it involves a search for identity: The protagonist, often a youngster from a backwater, goes out into the big world for whatever purpose. In the course of this protagonist's learning and mastering this larger and more complicated world (a process usually accompanied by long expository lumps), the reader also learns about the world or society of the author's creation. Delany's earlier books are less polished, but more accessible. The reverse is true of his later ones. I'll admit to being a Phillistine, and preferring the more user-friendly ones.

skip to main skip to sidebar Reginald Shepherd's Blog A blog about poetry, literature, and art, that occasionally engages other issues of importance and interest. Tuesday, October 23, 2007 On Samuel R. Delany Samuel R. Delany is a prolific science fiction writer, memoirist, self-described pornographer, literary critic, and social commentator. Since the publication in 1962 (when he was twenty) of his first book, The Jewels of Aptor , he has published numerous novels, short stories, essays, interviews, cultural commentary, and memoirs. What's most remarkable about this prodigious output is its consistent quality, wide range, and continual development. Delany has never been one to repeat himself or rest on his laurels. Unlike some writers who, beginning in the genre and subsequently seeking literary respectability, and despite his numerous works in other genres, Delany has always strongly identified himself as a science fiction writer. But his work has always pushed at and expanded the boundaries and conventions of the field, constantly seeking out new forms, ideas, and themes. Indeed, his work has become more challenging and complex over the course of his career. Though I am a poet and he is a prose writer (a prose writer with an active and insightful interest in contemporary poetry, one no doubt encouraged by his previous marriage to and continuing friendship with the marvelous poet Marilyn Hacker), Delany has been a crucial influence on the way I write and think about writing. Among other things, his work is a constant reminder that reading is a form of writing oneself into a text and that writing is a form of reading a potential text.

Samuel R. Delany Information Introduction Web Timeline Other Delany Pages Biographies ... Reciprocity Introduction Samuel Delany is one of my heroes. I read Nova when I was a teenager. At that time, Bantam had published Triton Dhalgren , and Nova with the same style of cover, linking them in my mind. I was twelve or thirteen years old and intimidated by long books, so I read Nova first. I liked it and thought I might like the other two. I told my best friend about it. He told me that Triton was not very good, `a commie book', based on information his older brother had given him after he read it. Because of that, it was six years before I read Triton and Dhalgren When I finally read Dhalgren , all I could think of was how different (and better) my life would have been had I read it when I was younger. I have since tried to get my hands on everything Delany has written, and been pretty successful. Combing used bookstores has gotten me copies of all of his out of print stuff. He is one of the very few authors that I will buy hardcovers of, instead of waiting for the mass-market paperback to be released. I've put together a bibliography based on this.

Delany exposes the heart of Dhalgren over a naked lunch By Scott Edelman amuel R. Delany launched his science-fiction career as a 20-year-old publishing prodigy with the novel The Jewels of Aptor in 1962. Other critically-acclaimed novels and short stories quickly followed, as did recognition from both fans and peers. He earned Nebula Awards for his novel Babel-17 (1966), as well as the short stories "Aye, and Gomorrah ... " (1967) and "Time Considered as a Helix of Semi-Precious Stones" (1969), the latter of which also won a Hugo Award. By 1969, the author, editor and critic Algis Budrys was already calling Delany "the best science-fiction writer in the world," which, based on the evidence at the time, did not seem to be that controversial a call.

Although he has written much outside the genre, Samuel R. Delany is, along with Octavia Butler , one of two African Americans who, as writers, rank near the top of science fiction authors and is, along with Toni Morrison and Ishmael Reed , one the best contemporary African American novelists. While in grad school, I, from 1965 to 1969, first read Delany and regarded him as one of the best young writers years before realizing, he is an African American. I've followed his work ever since. Years ago, my wife and I were thrilled to have Chip's company for dinner on several occasions while my baby daughter slept in her crib. Now that daughter, aged 22, is a writer and a fan of Delany.

Delany Born: 1-Apr Birthplace: New York City Gender: Male Race or Ethnicity: Black Sexual orientation: Bisexual Occupation: Author Nationality: United States Executive summary: Triton One of the most discussed and influential authors of science fiction, Samuel R. Delany is also considered to be the first major black author of American science fiction, and the first to be openly bisexual. Also a professor and literary critic, he has produced some three dozen books, including two pornographic works (only one of which was published). He is noted for his explorations of social and moral issues as well as language structure and mythology. His best known works include the novels Einstein Intersection Nova Dhalgren Babel-17 , and Triton as well as the short fiction anthology Driftglass . He has won two Hugo awards and four Nebulas. Born in Harlem in 1942, Delany was the son of a funeral parlor owner and the nephew of the Delany sisters immortalized in the book (and play) "Having Our Say". Although raised in Harlem, he had the financial wherewithal to cultivate interests in theatre and books as well as math, science, and music. He was further distinguished, at least inwardly, by an emerging sexual interest in other boys. By age 13, he began a novel, and the following year composed and orchestrated a violin concerto. As a teen Delany attended the Bronx High School of Science, but his college career was shortlived. He dropped out of City College after only one semester. Nonetheless by the time he was 20 he had published his first novel

By the Editors of DENT Magazine We've forgiven acclaimed writer Samuel Delany for breeding. That was our sentiment as he headed west in June to attend his daughter Iva's commencement exercises at Kenyon. Maker of offspring is only one of the many roles of production and consumption Delany has undertaken over the last 30 years. He is also an endlessly prolific novelist, a teacher, a nonjudgmental sugar daddy, a gourmet, and an imbiber of fine spirits When orality is as abundant and as well meaning as Delany's, one can't really object to his bringing into the world one more intelligent individual. So we've decided to accept him into our pantheon of Critics of the Nuclear Family. His writing offers a myriad of alternatives to the romantic dyad and the conventional family, as does his original bisexual life style. Pagan phenomena of every sort spring from his brilliant brain, ample loins, and sensitive fingertips as if from some sort of Supreme Being. The prolific author of fiction began his career at 20 in 1962 with the publication of The Jewels of Aptor. Dhalgren, a novel published in 1975, established him permanently as one of the most controversial writers of the science fiction genre, partly because of its frank portrayal of diverse sexualities. Today the book has been re-released by Wesleyan.

20. Racial Realities And Amazing Alternatives: Studying The Works Of Samuel R. Delan His dissertation, A Sense of Wonder The Postmodern Projects of samuel R. delany, was finished during a New England Board of Higher Education Dissertation http://wiredforbooks.org/scifi/delany.htm

Wired for Books Home Studying the Works of Samuel R. Delany by Jeffrey Allen Tucker, Ph.D. When I tell people that my most recent research has been on works of African-American Science Fiction, I often get responses that range from the incredulous"You mean, there is such a thing?"to the ridiculous: "You mean, like Homeboys in Outer Space or Dionne Warwick’s Psychic Friends Network, right?" As a literary scholar, my interests have less to do with inane TV sitcoms and 900-number services than with the works of one of the most gifted and unique minds of our contemporary era, Samuel R. Delany. Once, Delany was something of an unknown in African-American Studies. If I mentioned to another scholar in the field that I worked on "Delany" it was automatically assumed that I meant Martin Delany, the 19th-century abolitionist, black nationalist forerunner, and author of Blake or The Huts of America (1861-2). Today, "Delany" more often triggers thoughts of the first major African-American voice in science fiction (SF), who has since become the genre’s foremost theoretician and one of today's most consistently interesting intellectuals. Born and raised in Harlem, Samuel Ray Delany, Jr. (a.k.a. "Chip") is a member of one of the more famous families in African-American history. Delany's paternal aunts, Sarah Elizabeth and A. Elizabeth Delany recently earned recognition for their collection of memoirs entitled Having Our Say
