Published 1966 I About the Author Samuel Delany writes stories that challenge adults and younger readers to think deeply about both the complex ideas presented in his writings and about how these ideas may apply to their own real-life experiences. In The Star Pit, he creates a complex star-faring society in which children are usually raised with multiple fathers and mothers in 'procreation groups'; in spite of the potential for ample nurturing that such groups would seem to offer, children and young adults tend to be neglected and are frequently abused. He works out the unusual social structure, as well as addressing concerns particularly important to young readers, and it makes for absorbing reading. ... Order Star Pit, The

22. The Kubrick Site: Samuel Delany's Review Of '2001' by samuel R. delany. Copyright ©1968 by Mercury Press, Inc.; reprinted in The Year s Best Science Fiction No.2 edited by Harry Harrison and Brian W. http://www.visual-memory.co.uk/amk/doc/0044.html

A Review of 2001: A Space Odyssey by Samuel R. Delany Once past the titles, you see landscapes: muted earth colours, yellows, lots of rock, little vegetation. The feeling is horizontal stasis. Almost every line is as long as the horizon itself. The point of view is immobile. In the penultimate sequence, you are propelled with fantastic energy through landscapes full of verticals: crags, mesas, canyons, waves and precipices, as rich and violent as the opening ones are serene. Some of the scenes are solarised, some are developed with colour replacement techniques that increase the visual violence. The journey between the two is an odyssey that takes a million or so years. We watch proto-humans begin it with a brilliant sequence in which men/apes learn to distinguish the subjective from the objective, and so invent tools, first used to gain food, then as weapons against their own kind. At its end a starchild, man-become-something-more-than-man, moves through space inside a translucent amnion, regarding the planet earth. The journey has unexpected twists, goes in many odd directions, is ultimately circular; and great steps of it are bridged in the space between two frames of film. Kubrick concentrates perhaps two-thirds of his vision on one "moment" of the journey: the incidents up to and including the nine month expedition of the space ship Discovery to Jupiter. The ship is seeking, unbeknownst to the two conscious humans on the crew, still another of the possibly-sentient slabs that have stood as guide posts since the beginning of the journey. In this section of film, the images are highly mechanized. People talk to one another, make speeches, listen to orders (and in the un-cut version, one set of orders is run twice verbatim to great ironic effect), and only moments later do we realize that the inormation content is nil. Machines on the vast cinerama screen, showing jeweled Lunar and trans-Lunar nights, dance, offer themselves to one another, supplicate and entreat each other: in one scene, mechanical hands bear a corpse before an implacable, sperm-shaped space ship whose computer-brain has possibly gone "...half crazy over the love of you..." Throughout this centre section of the movie, Kubrick carefully creates a gravity-less universe: as the film progresses, concepts like

24. Dalkey Archive Press: Interview With Samuel R. Delany Dalkey Archive Press Interview with samuel R. delany. http://www.centerforbookculture.org/interviews/interview_delany.html

An Interview with Samuel R. Delany By K. Leslie Steiner K. LESLIE STEINER: Recently you've discouraged personal interviews, urging those who would interview you to write out their questions; and you respond in writing. Your recent book, Silent Interviews , is restricted to such written interviews. Ours here is another through the mails-some dozenplus letters, two brief phone callsbut no face-to-face contact. Is this to maintain privacy, to control what goes into printor what? Samuel R. DELANY: The answer requires a counter question: What's the purpose of an interview in the first place'? If the interviewee is some sort of criminal and the idea is to spring the embarrassing and unsuspected question"What was in that maroon attache case you were seen passing to the security guard outside the building the night of July 16th?"so that you can report the stutter, the confusion, the embarrassment that signals guilt, complicity, and malfeasance, perhaps then the live interview has a place. But if the interview is investigative in a deeper sense and the purpose is to find out what the interviewee actually thinks about matters, the written interview is more concise and efficient.

Delany 1942- (Full name Samuel Ray Delany, Jr.; has also written under pseudonym K. Leslie Steiner) American novelist, short story writer, critic, essayist, and memoirist. The following entry presents an overview of Delany's career through 1999. For further information on his life and works, see CLC, Volumes 8, 14, and 38. INTRODUCTION Widely regarded as one of the most important science fiction writers of his generation, Delany was the first African American to earn acclaim in the genre. In works such as Babel-17 Dhalgren (1975), and his four-volume Nev¨r¿on series, he established his reputation as a challenging author whose ambitious texts featured sophisticated commentary on gender, sexuality, and race. His protagonists are often artist-criminals who are able to view the world as marginalized outsiders, a perspective Delany has shared as a black, dyslexic homosexual. Both Delany's fiction and criticism reveal his preoccupation with semiotics and postmodern theory, including his belief that language constitutes, rather than reflects, reality. His theoretical approach to writing and his radical, often controversial and explicitly pornographic texts, have broadened the parameters of traditional science fiction.

Simon Haynes on Sep 23rd, 2007 at 8:01 pm My second and third novels took me 18 months and 8 months respectively, with rough outlines. Each was completely rewritten before publication. My fourth was comprehensively outlined but I diverged from the plot after a couple of chapters. The further I got the less I was using it, so in the end I sat down and wrote a new outline, keeping the material I already had for my next book. Oz Drummond on Sep 25th, 2007 at 6:28 am

Don't Sweat the Small Stuff Russ Allbery Reviews Silent Interviews About Writing by Samuel R. Delany Publisher: Wesleyan ISBN: Format: Trade paperback Pages: Subtitled "7 essays, 4 letters, and 5 interviews," this is a collection of Delany's writing on the topic of writing. The essays and interviews have all been previously published, but in scattered places that the average reader likely doesn't have access to. The subtitle also sells the book a bit short; there is, in addition, a rambling 58-page introduction and a 42-page appendix with more concrete hints and tips. Contrary to the way it's marketed, this is not a book only for writers. It is not full of writing advice; it's full of analysis and critique of why writing works and why it doesn't, remarks on what Delany looks for in writing, some insight into how writing works in the head of the writer (at least the head of Delany), and even some personal history and commentary. The introduction is exceptional and worth the price of the book by itself. I bought this book after reading the introduction in The New York Review of Science Fiction and enjoyed it no less the second time. Delany talks about the difference between good and talented writing, the inadequacy of mere polish, the state of reading and writing, books and authors who influenced him, novelists most worth reading, what he looks for in writing, and numerous other topics. He drifts from one train of thought to another, but what the introduction lacks in structure it makes up for in approachable, knowledgable insight.

40. Bookreporter.com - DHALGREN By Samuel R. Delany A couple of these were published; then along came DHALGREN by samuel R. delany. Sam delany at that point in time was one of the genre s young lions. http://www.bookreporter.com/reviews/0375706682.asp

var gDcsId = "dcs30w0vc10000chxa0maatv9_2u6z"; DHALGREN Samuel R. Delany Vintage Science Fiction ISBN: 0375706682 Where to start with DHALGREN? With a history lesson... DHALGREN was initially published in 1974 by Bantam Books. The science fiction genre was flush with energy for a number of reasons, and Bantam hired Frederik Pohl (who even then was a grand master in the field) to find new and original science fiction novels and publish them under its imprint with the legend "A Frederik Pohl Book," or something like that. A great idea. A couple of these were published; then along came...DHALGREN by Samuel R. Delany. Sam Delany at that point in time was one of the genre's young lions. He was racking up awards by the wheelbarrow full for brilliant novels like NOVA and THE EINSTEIN INTERSECTION and for short stories that bounced around in your brain long after you finished them, novels and stories that combined hard science with social problems that no one even dreamed of but somehow knew were coming. The word was that he was working on a massive new novel that would set the genre on its ear; then along came...DHALGREN. Several months after DHALGREN was published I attended a science fiction convention that featured a panel discussion consisting of Pohl; Harlan Ellison, at the most prolific and creative high point of his career; and Joe Haldeman, who had published a couple of excellent books at that point and was highly regarded as an up-and-comer. One of the many nebbishes among those assembled asked the panel "What did you think of DHALGREN?" Ellison harped, "I hated it!", Haldeman shrugged and said, "I read it," and Pohl, looking down his nose at those assembled, answered, "I bought it." Whether or not he was sold a bill of goods is still a matter of contention today.
