He really has a sense of foreahadowing, and the end of the story is a nice abstract SciFi piece all its own2 of 3 people found the following review helpful. This 'Chip' Has SailedBy W. B. GlassThis five-star review is for the youthful works, novel- length and shorter, of Samuel R. 'Chip' Delany, influenced by the poetry of Marilyn Hacker (both Delany's companion at the time and, sometimes, a character within his work), the prose of Theodore Sturgeon (an sf writer no longer woefully under-represented on Kindle), and Delany's own delight in the opportunities offered by the science fiction playground.(I'm not talking here of Delany's first novel, THE JEWELS OF APTOR, with whose three-star Kindle reviews I tend to agree.)I'm talking the stuff from when Delany sailed, soared, and sometimes swept up science fiction's best-of-the-year awards. I'm talking the trilogy THE CAPTIVES OF THE FLAME, THE TOWERS OF TORON, and CITY OF A THOUSAND SUNS (available from as the DTB omnibus THE FALL OF THE TOWERS), the playfully-interlinked EMPIRE STAR and BABEL-17 (available from in a back-to-back "Double Book" DTB edition), THE EINSTEIN INTERSECTION (Kindle, ), the stories in DRIFTGLASS (all, and more, included within the DTB collection AYE, AND GOMORRAH)(available from ), and the novel NOVA ( DTB) -- most of which are not available on Kindle -- all which convey both joy and intelligence.(Kindle mainly carries Doctor Professor Delany's later works, which I can sometimes appreciate and seldom enjoy, and which tend toward the mimetic, the semiotic, and the didactically transgressive.)CAPTIVES OF THE FLAME comes from that bright period when Delany, Roger Zelazny, and Harlan Ellison (here in America) were re-examining and reforging the language of science fiction. Delany even wrote an essay, "About 5,750 Words", wherein he word-by-word deconstructs the shape and process of a science fiction sentence. His premise: each new word ideally modifies, refocuses, or sharpens a reader's perception of the previous word. He illustrates this with the following short sentence (and associated perceptions): "The" (a kinda blobbish gray start) "red" (the blob now has color) "sun" (the color focuses to a small circular spot above us) "was" (not much new there) "low" (a time of day, a mood), "the" (after the comma's pause, a new gray-blobbish beginning) "blue" (which acquires color) "high". "The red sun was low, the blue high": suddenly we're on another planet, with two suns and doubled shadows!With this awareness of Delany's word-by-word precision, you can understand my horror that Kindle's previous offering of CAPTIVES OF THE FLAME presented the opening phrase of the opening sentence of the book's Prologue as "The green beetles' wings..." instead of "The green of beetles' wings...".This CAPTIVES OF THE FLAME restores Delany's text (which he himself would tweak and revise for the one-volume edition of the trilogy), as well as artist Jack Gaughan's cover painting (instead of the unrelated Emshwiller magazine-cover-image the previous offering presented).As an introduction (if you've not yet had one) to 'Chip' Delany's work, as a wafting memory of 1960's head space (whether you were there or not), and as some good, mind-stretching sf adventure reading, this CAPTIVES OF THE FLAME is well worth your $0.99.Recommended.2 of 3 people found the following review helpful. strange flight of fancyBy David BrockertThis story is quite the strange flight of fancy. They use slide rules and computers in the far future where life has devolved in ways and evolved in other ways after the nuclear holocaust to come. The stranger part are the aliens that have come to save world. The country of the story is really an island that has become a monarchy. The country is bounded by a radiation field that prevents them form gong beyond to explore the rest of the world. They know there are other people over there, just not who or how developed they are. The economy is going to pot, like ours is because of overproduction and limited man hours for that same overproduction, so there is a need to siphon off excess men and energy, hence the war to be. Oddly, there is a side plot of the King's brother being kidnapped and nurtured, but it does not go anywhere. It just happens and the story goes on without him getting back home or developing. I liked the idea, but I will have to look for the subsequent story to find out how he fares. Anyway, the aliens help the people to save the world and, hopefully, the war will actually not be so bad. SAMUEL R. DELANY considers Captives of the Flame to be the first of a trilogy dealing with the same epoch and characters. It is, however, his second published novel, his first being The Jewels of Aptor, which has received considerable acclaim.Asked for comment on his literary ambitions, he preferred to quote one of the characters from one of his works:ldquo;I wanted to wield together a prose luminous as twenty sets of headlights flung down a night road; I wanted my words tinged with the green of mercury vapor street lamps seen through a shaling of oak leaves in the park past midnight. I needed phrases that would break open like thunder, or leave a brush as gentle as willow boughs passed in a dark roomhellip;. The finest writing is always the finest delineation of surfaces.rdquo; [D2WXy.ebook] Captives of the Flame By Samuel R. Delany PDF [D2WXy.ebook] Captives of the Flame By Samuel R.

C A L L A L O O FUTURIST FICTION & FANTASY The Racial Establishment by Gregory E. Rutledge “I don’t like movies when they don’t have no niggers in ‘em. I went to see, I went to see “Logan’s Run,” right. They had a movie of the future called “Logan’s Run.” Ain’t no niggers in it. I said, well white folks ain’t planning for us to be here. That’s why we gotta make movies. Then we[’ll] be in the pictures.” —Richard Pryor in “Black Hollywood” from Richard Pryor: Bicentennial Nigger (1976) Futurist fiction and fantasy (hereinafter referred to as “FFF”) encompasses a variety of subgenres: hard science fiction, speculative fiction, fantasy, sword-and-sorcerer fantasy, and cyberpunk.1 Unfortunately, even though nearly a century has expired since the advent of FFF, Richard Pryor’s observation and a call for action is still viable.

  • Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} Phallos by Samuel R. Delany ‘Phallos’ by Samuel R
    Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} Phallos by Samuel R. Delany ‘Phallos’ by Samuel R. Delany. The enhanced and revised edition of Samuel Delany’s 2004 novella Phallos , edited by NYU professor of American Studies Robert F. Reid- Pharr, is a provoking book to hold in your hands; what should you expect from a “synopsis of a gay pornographic novella” and what is to be done with “a gay pornographic novella, with the explicit sex omitted”? Who would write such a thing? One does not often find simplification in essays by Berkeley professors, but in “I Can See Atlantis From My House: Sex, Fantasy, and Phallos ” by Darieck Scott, one of the three essays about Phallos appended at the back of the enhanced edition, there is permission to read Phallos in any of the non-literary states of mind that the book provokes. Even if you’re confused, aroused, or off on some fantastically imaginative mind-tangent, Phallos ’s immersive creativity will carry you forward. Scott writes of the possibilities of Phallos , “the novella sprinkles its enchantment by seducing us to dream in the hyperbolic way of the fantasy genre about what might otherwise be dismissed as prosaic or unworthy.” Phallos allows your dreams and your interpretations to flourish—no matter how silly or puerile—under the pretense that they contain “secret wisdom”, a theme in both the novel’s historically-fantastical narrative and its rhetorical ponderings. The actual experience of reading Phallos involves two distinct narrative voices. Voice one, written in the first person, is the voice of a young boy named Neoptolomus.

Working backwards with Samuel Delany can be an interesting affair, as so much of his later science-fiction (or novels in general) is so infused with theoretical underpinnings that its almost a pleasant revelation that he could write a story without having the plot become hijacked because hes in hurry to get to the essay at the back explaining how everything youve previously read was an exercise in his new literary theory of applied semiotics. Not that his earlier works were devoid of ideas beyond Ray Gun Man fighting Bug Aliens . Babel-17 has to do with the nature of language and Im pretty sure The Einstein Intersection has a rollicking good time with Jungian archetypes, but you can probably argue at some point that he started to trade the entertainment value of a story in exchange for being able to craft it into the delivery system for a series of increasingly abstract ideas (in that light, the novels focusing on sexuality are almost a welcome relief .

    INFORMATION TO USERS This material was producad from a microfilm copy of tha original document. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, tha quality is heavily dependant upon tha quality of tha original submitted. Tha following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1. Tha sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from tha document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing paga(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necanitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. Whan an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image. You w ill find a good image of the pega in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., was part of the material being photographed the photographer followed a definite method in "sectioning" the material. It is customary to begin photoing at the upper left hand comer of a large sheet and to continue photoing from left to right in equal sections w ith a small overlap. If necessary, sectioning is continued again — beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. The majority of users indicate that the textual content is of greatest value, however, a somewhat higher quality reproduction could be made from "photographs" if essential to tha understanding of the dissertation.

  • The Straits of Messina
    Straits of Messina Samuel R. Delany Preface To read writers writing about their own work is to watch often intelligent and graceful men and women stumble between the pompous and the pitiful. The spectacle is so disquieting I’ve sometimes suspected the benighted folk requesting these displays must do so in happy anticipation of the too-frequent clown show that results. A simple “No” to such requests, it might then seem, should staunch the idiocy. And for many writers constrained by a larger sense of decorum, it does. For many years it did for me. Why then, knowing better, does a writer from time to time to such a request say, “Yes”? There probably are some overwhelmingly popular writers who receive so many demands for self- explication that they are simply worn down by the onslaught. But that is not most of us. I can think of two other reasons, however, that cover much. One is, oddly, the “fascination of what’s difficult.” Having watched so many other writers fail to negotiate the waters between the Scylla of overweening self-importance and the Charybdis of childish self-deprecation, the prose writer is drawn to take up the challenge in much the same way as the poet is sometimes tempted to wrestle something interesting into some particularly complex form—canzone, rondeau, or chant royal—which seems, by the very intricacy of its structure, restricted to the trivial. The pieces in this book signed by me grow largely from that fascination— although what made the task of self- criticism difficult was often more difficult than I suspected; thus, on that count, they fail more often than they succeed.

  • Abject Utopianism and Psychic Space: an Exploration of a Psychological Process Toward Utopia in the Work of Samuel R
    ABJECT UTOPIANISM AND PSYCHIC SPACE: AN EXPLORATION OF A PSYCHOLOGICAL PROCESS TOWARD UTOPIA IN THE WORK OF SAMUEL R. DELANY AND JULIA KRISTEVA A Dissertation Submitted to the Committee on Graduate Studies in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Faculty of Arts and Science TRENT UNIVERSITY Peterborough, Ontario, Canada (c) Copyright by Cameron Alexander James Ellis 2014 Cultural Studies Ph.D. Graduate Program September 2014 ABSTRACT Abject Utopianism and Psychic Space: An Exploration of a Psychological Process Toward Utopia in the Work of Samuel R. Delany and Julia Kristeva Cameron Alexander James Ellis This dissertation utilizes the psychoanalytic theories of French psychoanalyst Julia Kristeva as a lens through which to read the novels of American author Samuel R. Delany. I argue that concepts proper to Kristeva’s work—namely abjection and/or the abject—can provide a way to think what it might mean to be utopian in the 21st century. Delany’s novels are received historically, which is to say his work speaks from a certain historical and cultural viewpoint that is not that of today; however, I claim that his novels are exceptional for their attempts to portray other ways of being in the world. Delany’s novels, though, contain bodies, psychologies, and sexualities that are considered abject with respect to contemporary morality. Nonetheless, this dissertation argues that such manifestations of abject lived experience provide the groundwork for the possibility of thinking utopianism differently today. Throughout, what I am working toward is a notion that I call Abject Utopianism: Rather than direct attention toward those sites that closely, yet imperfectly, approximate the ideal, one should commit one’s attention to those sights that others avoid, abscond, or turn their nose up at in disgust, for those are the sites of hope for a better world today.
