“I live in one city…Maybe you live in another. In mine, time...leaks…In your city, you're sane and I'm crazy…Because you keep telling me things are happening that don't fit with what I see…Some guy with a gun? In the park…I don't know if I want to live in yours!"

“Arthur goes out there, every day…Then he comes home…Do you know, I don't believe all that out there is real. Once the smoke covers him, I don't believe he goes anywhere. I don't believe there's anyplace to go…I don't think I believe there ever was.”
One of favorite genres of literature is “I Don’t Know What the Fuck is Happening Here.” #BookSky #SamuelRDelany #Dhalgren #sciencefiction #speculativefiction #literaryfiction

she asked, "when they got the first astronauts to the moon…next time…you looked up and saw the moon in the sky instead of on television…I realized that for the last fifty thousand science-fiction novels it had still been just a light hanging up there…now it was...a place."

“But I still hear them walking in the trees; not speaking. Waiting here, away from the terrifying weaponry, out of the halls of vapor and light, beyond holland and into the hills, I have come….”

TO WOUND THE AUTUMNAL city.
So howled out for the world to give him a name.
The in-dark answered with wind.
All you know I know….

This conversation with #bellhooks and #SamuelRDelany taught me that #Nazis were #Sex freaks and part of the point of fascism is to deny the public sexual freedom to HEIGHTEN the SS's sexual pleasure in being the only group with the power to be freaky. Long story short, ICE is protecting pedophiles.
"Stars in My Pocket Like Grains of Sand" is one of my favorite novels (so far) by Samuel R. Delany. There's a passage toward the end of the book that I reread several times in a row, a beautiful soliloquy by a character that rivaled those by Shakespeare.

"Babel-17" (along with "Empire Star" in a 'flip book' format from Ace Books) was the first book I read by Samuel R. Delany (otherwise known as 'Chip' to fans/friends). My partner has two full rows of a bookshelf filled with Delany's works.

“Oh, the bright young people who come here, with their bright, lively imaginations. They do nothing all day long but think of ways to kill….I think it does something to our minds. Imagination should be used for something other than pondering murder….”

“I'm familiar with a half dozen languages…Babel-17 isn't one of them…I want to find out who speaks this language because I want to find out who, or what, in the Universe thinks that way….”

You don't choose your perversions. You have no perversions at all. You're free of the whole business. I love you for that, Spacer. My love starts with the fear of love.

Dhalgren, by Samuel R. Delany.
is a masterpiece of experimental fiction. broke so many rules, then re-made them into its own image. i have so many unread books, that i hesitate to re-read one. but i may cave and do this one again...has been on my mind lately.

Okay Bluesky sff fandom and archivists: a while sgo, I read #SamuelRDelany saying that most of his nonfiction writing was now being done on Facebook notes. However Facebook notes now appears to be totally gone. Is there a way to access it that I'm not seeing? Did Wayback archive it?
