The Edge of Language
Acclaimed author's account of the 1970s and the process behind his masterpieces of science fiction and literary criticismThis long-awaited second volume of The Journals of Samuel R. Delany offers a window into the 1970s, a pivotal decade in Delany's career, when he produced some of his most daring and influential work. The journals trace the evolution of Dhalgren, the ambitious, experimental novel that polarized readers yet became his most commercially successful book, as well as the long-suppressed Hogg, a brutal exploration of transgression. They show Delany's subsequent work on Trouble on Triton and the groundbreaking Tales of Nevèrÿon, which wove philosophy, sexuality, and myth into sword-and-sorcery narratives. They also capture his early development of Stars in My Pocket Like Grains of Sand, as well as the critical insights that would reshape science fiction studies in The Jewel-Hinged Jaw, The American Shore, and Starboard Wine. Intellectually vibrant and deeply personal, these writings illuminate Delany's life as a black gay writer navigating identity, desire, and community amid the cultural transformations of the era.Editor and Delany scholar Kenneth R. James has included a generous sampling of story outlines, fragments of fiction and criticism, and letter drafts alongside the personal entries, and has also supplied biographical synopses and endnotes, all of which enrich and clarify the personal narrative.

Das Einstein-Vermächtnis
In einer weit entfernten Zukunft gelten die Gesetze von Raum und Zeit nicht mehr, und auf der Erde haben sich Geschöpfe angesiedelt, die uns Menschen nur auf den ersten Blick ähnlich sehen.

Als er die eigenwillige, anscheinend taubstumme Friza kennenlernt, glaubt er eine Seelenverwandte gefunden zu haben. Doch dann wird Friza getötet, und Lobey zieht aus, um sie zu rächen - und vielleicht gar aus dem Reich der Toten zurückzuholen. Der zweite Band der Werkausgabe dieses außergewöhnlichen Autors; ein Roman von überwältigender Ideenvielfalt und großer sprachlicher Kraft.
