Description
African-American and gay, Delany crosses boundaries–generic (science fiction, memoir, theory, pornography) and academic (literary studies, cultural studies, African-American studies, gay and lesbian studies). Jeffrey Allen Tucker’s reading of the four-volume Return to Neveryeon series places Delany’s explorations of semiotics in dialogue with Frederick Douglass’s 1845 Narrative and social histories on slavery in America. (automatically summarized from Amazon.com)
