| | David N. Samuelson- "Talking" Samuel R. Delany |
 | | Discussing their hardback sf comic book, Empire, for which Delany designed the story and wrote "half" of the prose, his lament is that a publisher with ghettoized ideas of audience expectation, fancied himself a creator and made sure that what was published was aesthetic hash. | | | Delany connects cyberpunk to the mysterious lunar artifact of Algis Budrys' Rogue Moon and early evocations of outer space, all of which use inflated rhetoric to differentiate "paraspace" from mundane dimensions. | | | That he pursues them at all, even in interviews, argues his commitment to what he contends, his desire to uncover a grain if not a vein of truth, and his hope that at least part of his audience can learn to read him by his lights. |

| | A Silent Interview with Samuel R. Delany - R A I N T A X I o n l i n e |
| | SAMUEL R. Because I like to read poetry--and like to read about poetry--I'm tempted to start with the most pragmatic answer: As a prose writer, I work with language; and those who work with language turn to poetry for renewal. | | | In stories trying to put over some notion from cultural or theoretical studies, really the writers aren't doing anything very different from what Asimov was trying for in his Foundation tales. | | | Do you see any relation between ways in which your work is informed by literary/critical thinking and ways in which the works of other SF writers have been informed by other bodies of thought--for example, theories of history and Isaac Asimov's Foundation series, or eco-political ideas and Kim Stanley Robinson's Mars and California trilogies? |

| | Samuel R. Delany by K. Leslie Steiner |
| | Samuel Delany, right now, as of this book, Nova, not as of some future book or some accumulated body of work, is the best science fiction writer in the world, at a time when competition for that status is intense. | | | Delany’s next novel Trouble on Triton (1976: originally published as Triton) tells the story of a man in the twenty-second century, born on Mars and living on Neptune’s larger moon, who decides midway through the book to deal with his numerous personality problems by becoming a woman. | | | Though Delany’s fiction was by now all but unavailable in the United States, in England Grafton Books was keeping the four volumes of Return to Nevèrÿon in print, as well as Dhalgren and some of his other works. |

| | Sam Delany at that point in time was one of the genre's young lions. | | | I never read another of Delany's books again, after having been a major fan of his for years. | | | 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. |

| | Delany has developed this theme of language as the controlling factor in a person's world map in several books, but this is the only one that I can think of by him or any other author where language is not only a weapon but the main driving force behind the plot. | | | This novel by Samuel Delany is probably the best SF novel I have ever read - at least it rates in my top three. | | | All told with Delany's inimitable sense of the English language, with the admirable support of excerpts of Marylyn Hacker's (Delany's then wife) poems. |

I returned the book to the store, and didn't tell them why. | | | In college I bought and read the whole book, but I'll always remember it as the book that was my first account of two men together. | | | I didn't really keep up with Delany's work in between. |

| | I think of Delany primarily as a writer of the sixties and seventies --though he might disagree. | | | "The Ballad of Beta-2" (**+) is another of Delany's earliest books, in which a student of anthropology is sent to study one of the ballads of a failed generation-ship culture -- and learns the truth behind the apparently fanciful ballad. | | | The character and actions of Rydra Wong herself carry the book, but its philosophical side is weakened by the implausibility of the claims Delany makes for his fictional languages. |

| | His companion, for the main incidents of the story, Hawk, is 1) a teenager poet, 2) a street person/ hippy, and 3) a sexual deviant of masochist persuasion (perhaps suicidal). | | | There is also a great deal of the ancient heroic epics, Arthurian legend, sword and sorcery in Delany, not to mention flash and poetry. | | | He was excited about the trilogy he was working on for Ace or Ballantine; I was amazed to hear that a bohemian writer in the Village, living in a tenement with bars on every window to keep the junkies from ripping you off, was living on the advance on royalties for three unwritten novels! |

| | Despite this income, and despite his success as an author, Delany lives in modest circumstances -- no doubt due in part to the fact that so many of his books were allowed to go out of print, depriving him of royalties. | | | However, recent trends in publishing, and in public taste, have motivated publishers to issue new prints of his work, in many cases presenting the first complete version ever released (as with Jewels of Aptor, which had long been missing a full one-third of the book). | | | Also a professor and literary critic, he has produced some three dozen books, including two pornographic works (only one of which was published). |
