The writer:

Samuel R. Delany is a brilliant author from New York. He is a professor of English and creative writing who has created unique and opulent science fiction. His characters are unique from other story tellers. I can see these people in almost a fresh cartoon-like quality of anime or manga or some other bright and overly colorful presentation. Not that they are any more or less believable by any measure. Yet the characters stand apart by the craftmanship of this elegant writer. His worlds are crisp and new even when exploring familiar realms.

Note: Items with a '*' indicate I have read the written work. A '#'indicates I have acquired a old copy in paperback. I am always interested in good to excellent condition hardcopy or paperbacks. Know that the titles below are missing correct characters-letters for the words Neveryon and Ciron.
