Beschreibung

In Shorter Views, Hugo and Nebula award-winning author Samuel R. Delany brings his remarkable intellectual powers to bear on a wide range of topics. Whether he is exploring the deeply felt issues of identity, race, and sexuality, untangling the intricacies of literary theory, or the writing process itself, Delany is one of the most lucid and insightful writers of our time. These essays cluster around topics related to queer theory on the one hand, and on the other, questions concerning the paraliterary genres: science fiction, pornography, comics, and more. Readers new to Delany's work will find this collection of shorter pieces an especially good introduction, while those already familiar with his writing will appreciate having these essays between two covers for the first time.

Über den Autor

Samuel R. Delany (born 1942) is one of the most influential and formally innovative voices in modern science fiction. Emerging during the New Wave movement of the 1960s, Delany expanded the thematic and stylistic boundaries of the genre, combining speculative imagination with linguistic experimentation, social inquiry, and philosophical [...] novels and short fiction frequently explore language, identity, technology, and the structures of power within imagined societies. Works such as Babel-17 and Nova helped redefine what science fiction could attempt formally and intellectually, while later novels continued to challenge conventional narrative expectations. Delany's career has been recognised with multiple Hugo and Nebula Awards, affirming his place among the central figures of late twentieth-century speculative literature.Blending rigorous conceptual design with literary ambition, Delany remains a key architect of contemporary science fiction's expansion beyond pulp adventure into complex cultural and theoretical terrain.
