Delany always seems to be everywhere at once. At one moment writing some of the most fulfilling prose ever achieved by an American speculative fiction writer, at another tackling the most knotty theoretical issues within deconstruction, and at yet another producing frank, hot, outrageously delectable essays on his life as a New Yorker, a gay man, and a Black American. Delany's newest collection, Shorter Views, gives one perhaps the clearest sense of how all these aspects of Delany's work operate both with and against one another. --Robert F.
