![]() With lots of award nominations, his classics NOVA and BABEL-17 won him early acclaim before his classic novel Dhalgren explored themes of sexual freedom. I believe he was the first openly gay major sci-fi writer made more poignant by the fact that he was a black man before the civil reforms of the late '60s. Samuel "Chip" Delany is one of the most important genre authors of the 20th century who is thankfully still with us in his late 70's. Absolutely what you want in a Science Fiction epic. This experience was mind and universe expanding. On our best days that is what the women and men behind the genre should reach for. This is the kinda science fiction novel that you just have to accept that you are not going to get every single aspect of it and just go along for the ride either way. Let me start by saying that I think this is a masterpiece but I am not entirely sure.
