"Samuel R. Delany presents characters that, like him, can't be reduced to stereotype

Samuel R. Delany gently pats down the famously eccentric, salt-and-pepper (well, far more salt than pepper) Zeus-meets-Santa Claus beard that hangs over his rotund belly.

Photos don’t do justice to its imposing presence - just as secondhand reports on the charm, wit, and erudition of the novelist and Temple University writing professor can’t do justice to his full corporeal grandeur.

“Delany is a genius, a living legend,” declares Jacob McMurray, senior curator at the Experience Music Project/Science Fiction Museum and Hall of Fame, which inducted Delany in 2002. “He’s certainly one of the bright lights of science fiction ... and he’s also celebrated outside science fiction as one of the few people who has transcended that genre barrier.”

Delany, who is considered one of the most influential American postwar science-fiction stylists, has come into the public eye a couple of times over the last year. He was the focus of the documentary “Polymath, or the Life and Opinions of Samuel R. Delany, Gentleman,” which was shown at last year’s Philadelphia International Gay & Lesbian Film Festival. Last month, he read a selection of his latest works to a nearly full house at the Free Library of Philadelphia. "

Ce qui est remarquable c'est que l'article , tout en encensant Delany , ne dit quasiment rien sur son oeuvre , alors qu'il y avait matière !
