Customer Reviews

Brilliant, lyrical, evocative writing and story-telling

I've read this book four or five times over the years, and continue to marvel at Delany's awesome stylistic resources. Several of the stories are very moving, all are interesting, and all are exceptionally well-written. The stories cover the conflict between old and new (in the future), personal loss, the nature of freedom within the limits of the universe, and one odd, self-reflective narrative. Well worth seeking out for beauty in narrating and narrative.
