Yay, and furthermore, yippee!
I wish to repeat something a colleague said to me a year and a half ago: how brave of you to ask Samuel Delany a question! Anyone who's read interviews with him knows that he'll spend 600 words taking a sledgehammer to your ego before addressing the question directly ("First of all, your perception is wrong, and derives from a set of assumptions that, with the best will in the world, I can only characterize as lunatic.")
Wow!! This book looks absolutely wonderful. I can't wait to read it. The contents and contributors are terrific. Marleen S. Barr
