Une ITW de Samuel R. Delany où il parle de ses projets

[jerome]

Locus publie sur le net une interview de Samuel R. Delany. C'est ici.

Voici un extrait sur un de ses prochains livres :
“I've finished another novel. Basically I'm very happy with it. The working title is Through the Valley of the Nest of Spiders. I have been working on it for the last five years, and a section of it was published a couple of years ago in a journal called Black Clock. Now it's finished, it's over 250,000 words long. In one sense, it's an attempt to write a book that sits -- formally, almost -- on the three-way genre boundary between literary impressionism, pornography, and science fiction. (I think you should use the conservative term, pornography; 'erotica' sounds too much like you're embarrassed about what you're doing, and I'm not.) It's about a working-class gay male couple who meet when they are teenagers (19 and 17), living very much out of the center of things somewhere on the Georgia coast. They meet in 2007, and spend the next 75 or 76 years together, till one of them dies. And not much else happens.”
