Our group has read a variety of science fiction over the years, including our current anthology: Far Out: Recent Queer Science Fiction and Fantasy. But we've only read one book by a remarkable queer writer in that genre, Samuel R. Delany, and it was a memoir, not one of his novels: Times Square Red, Times Square Blue. As we start thinking about nominations for next year's reading list (a process I'll initiate next month; stay tuned), I commend this fascinating, in-depth profile of the author in the July 10-17 Fiction Issue of the New Yorker--both for its own sake and a source of suggestions for queer science fiction by Delany that we might read.
