Times Square Red, Times Square Blue (Sexual Cultures)
Samuel R. Delany / Hardcover / Published June 1999
Price: $19.95 - Ships in 2-3 days
An award-winning science fiction writer, esteemed professor of comparative literature at the University of Massachusetts-Amherst, and celebrated essayist and memoirist, Samuel Delany is one of America's keenest observers. He was also a longtime habitue of many of the sex theaters in New York City's Times Square, spending, by his own estimate, "thousands and thousands of hours" at the Capri, Variety Photoplays, the Eros, and the Venus. In the 1990s all of these theaters were shut down through new restrictive zoning laws, part of a combined effort by the Walt Disney Corporation and the administr...

Adrift in a Vanishing City
Vincent Czyz, Samuel R. Delany / Paperback / Published October 1998
Price: $8.00 - Savings of: $2.00 (20%) - Ships in 24 hours
Neither a collection of short stories in the traditional sense, nor a novel, these tales overlap at times, in places intersect, often diverge, but are all held together by the thread of memory. An odyssey of hypnotic beauty originating in a small-time city in Kansas, Adrift in a Vanishing City takes the reader through a tortured landscape of obsessive love, to real-time cities such as Budapest, Berlin and Mexico City, down dead-end streets marked by the invisible graffiti of the lives lost in them. Told in hauntingly lyrical prose, Adrift is a passage within the continuum of memory--from which...

Atlantis : Three Tales
Samuel R. Delany / Paperback / Published April 1997
(Publisher Out Of Stock)
Over the course of a stellar 30-year career, Delany has built a reputation as one of the preeminent literary stylists of science fiction largely on the basis of his penchant for groundbreaking experimentalism. These three semiautobiographical reflections, though they show Delany's consummate craftsmanship intact, find him stepping away from his literary roots. "Atlantis: Model 1924," the first and longest, uses third-person narration and often parallel columns of text to explore the adolescent memories of a 1920s version of Delany in his native New York and the poetic stranger he meets one day...
