There have been few American writers with minds as generous, transgressive, and polymathically brilliant as Samuel Delany’s, Julian Lucas writes, in a new Profile of the novelist. Many know Delany as the country’s first prominent Black author of science fiction, who transformed the field with novels like “Babel-17” (1966) and “Dhalgren” (1975). Others know the revolutionary chronicler of gay life, whose autobiography, “The Motion of Light in Water” (1988), stands as an essential document of the pre-Stonewall era. Still others know the professor, the pornographer, or the prolific essayist. There are so many Delanys that it’s difficult to take the full measure of his influence. “He is a sci-fi child prodigy who never flamed out; a genre best-seller widely recognized as a great literary stylist . . . and an outspokenly promiscuous gay man who survived the AIDS crisis and has found love, three times, in committed, non-monogamous relationships,” Lucas writes. “A story like Delany’s isn’t supposed to be possible in our society—and that, nearly as much as the gift of his writing, is his glory.” Read a Profile of the science-fiction visionary—who rarely grants interviews—at the link in our bio.
