Babel-17/Empire Star | Samuel R Delany

7 posts | 5 read | 4 to read

Author of the bestselling Dhalgren and winner of four Nebulas and one Hugo, Samuel R. Delany is one of the most acclaimed writers of speculative fiction. Babel-17," " winner of the Nebula Award for best novel of the year, is a fascinating tale of a famous poet bent on deciphering a secret language that is the key to the enemy s deadly force, a task that requires she travel with a splendidly improbable crew to the site of the next attack. For the first time, Babel-17 is published as the author intended with the short novel Empire Star, the tale of Comet Jo, a simple-minded teen thrust into a complex galaxy when he s entrusted to carry a vital message to a distant world. Spellbinding and smart, both novels are testimony to Delany s vast and singular talent."

Babel-17/Empire Star | Samuel R Delany

so-so

I ended up bailing on Babel-17 since the book was going over my head almost immediately but wanted to at least finish Empire Star for my book club. this is another case of "I totally respect the subject of the writing and think parts are legit neat but overall it's not something up my alley". I'm a bit sad since I enjoyed Delany's Einstein Intersection a while back.
