4.0 out of 5 stars A fascinating volume on a fascinating writer, 28 Jul 1999
By A Customer
While one essay ("Debased and Lascivious?: Samuel R. Delany's Stars in My Pocket Like Grains of Sand" by Russell Blackford) displays nothing more than its author's ignorance of the realities of contemporary urban gay life (wherein all of the social constructs Blackford dismisses as unrealistic and unbelievable actually obtain today), it is the exception in a volume that is otherwise fascinating, revelatory and worthy of its challenging subject.

Given that Delany is himself a formidable critic, writing about him in a way that is just as incisive as he writes about both himself and others is a particular challenge. This volume delivers in spades, especially in two essays successfully look in detail at Delany's criticism (by David N. Samuelson and Ken James), and in Kathleen Spenser's essay "Neveryon Deconstructed," which offers a fresh and invigorating approach to Delany's already self-deconstructing "Tales."

Highly recommended for anyoine interested in Delany's criticism or critical embroideries of his work that suggest new ways of perceiving those challenging works.
