Little Black Book of Indiscreet Recipes by Dan White
=========================
Samuel
R. Delany
An
author, professor and literary critic. His work includes fiction
(especially science fiction), memoir, criticism and essays on
sexuality and society.
This
multiple award winning writer was born in Harlem in 1942.
The
civil rights pioneers Sadie
and Bessie Delany
were his aunts. He used their adventures as the basis for Elsie and
Corry in "Atlantis:
Model 1924",
the opening novella in his semi-autobiographical collection Atlantis:
Three Tales.
His grandfather, Henry
Beard Delany,
was the first black Bishop of the Episcopal Church.
Delany
and poet Marilyn Hacker met
on their first day together in high school in September 1956,
and were married five years later, due to her pregnancy (which later
miscarried). Their marriage (which alternatively encompassed periods
of cohabitation and separation, experiments in polyamory, and
extramarital affairs with men and women conducted by both parties)
endured for 14 years.
Delany
has identified as gay since adolescence, though his complicated
marriage with Hacker (who was aware of Delany's orientation and has
identified as a lesbian since their divorce) has led some authors to
classify him as bisexual.
Chip,
as his friends called him, become a published science fiction author
by the age of 20, though he actually finished writing that first
novel (The
Jewels of Aptor)
while at 19, shortly after dropping out of the City College of New
York after one semester.
He
published nine well-regarded science fiction novels between 1962
and 1968,
as well as prize-winning short stories.
In
1966,
with his wife remaining in New York, Delany took an extended trip to
Europe, writing in France, England, Italy, Greece, and Turkey.
After
returning, Delany played and lived communally for six months on the
Lower East Side with the
Heavenly Breakfast,
a folk-rock band.
Delany
published his first
eight novels
with Ace Books from 1962 to 1967, culminating in Babel-17
and The
Einstein Intersection,
which were consecutively recognized as the year's best novel by the
Science Fiction Writers of America (Nebula Awards).
Delany
and Hacker lived in Marylebone, London. In 1972,
Delany was a visiting writer at Wesleyan University's Center for the
Humanities. During this period, he began working with sexual themes
in earnest and wrote two pornographic
works,
one of which (Hogg)
was unpublishable due to its transgressive content. Twenty years
later, it found print.
Delany's
eleventh and most popular novel, the million-plus-selling Dhalgren,
was published in 1975 to both literary acclaim and derision from both
inside and outside the science fiction community. Upon its
publication, Delany returned to the United States at the behest of
Leslie Fiedler to teach at the University at Buffalo in the spring of
1975.
Delany
became a professor in 1988.
With visiting fellowships at the University of Wisconsin–Milwaukee,
the University at Albany and Cornell University. He spent 11 years
as a professor of comparative literature at the University of
Massachusetts Amherst, a year and a half as an English professor at
the University at Buffalo, then moved to the English Department of
Temple University in 2001,
where he taught until his retirement in 2015.
In
1991, Delany entered a committed, nonexclusive relationship with
Dennis Rickett, previously a homeless book vendor. His courtship is
chronicled in the graphic memoir Bread
and Wine: An Erotic Tale of New York.
It
was in 1971 that Delany began dealing with sexual themes to an extent
rarely equaled in serious writing. Dhalgren
and
Stars in My
Pocket Like Grains of Sand include
several sexually explicit passages, and several of his books such as
Equinox,
The Mad Man,
Hogg
and, Phallos
can be considered pornography, a label Delany himself endorses.
Phallos
is about the quest for happiness and security by a gay man from the
island of Syracuse in the second-century reign of the Emperor
Hadrian. Dark Reflections is a contemporary novel, dealing with
themes of repression, old age, and the writer's unrewarded life.
He
has stated that he believes to leave out the sexual practices in his
writing would limit the dialog children and adults can have about it
themselves, and that this lack of knowledge can kill people.
Delany
grew up at a time when science fiction was gee-whiz futurism,
machismo adventuring, and white, heterosexual heroes. From the
beginning, Delany, pushed across those boundaries, embraced the
other, and questioned received ideas about sex and intimacy. He has
won some of the field’s biggest awards.
Delany’s
career now spans more than half a century, dozens of novels and short
stories, many of which have challenged what science fiction could or
should be. Even now, when graphic sex and challenging themes are
hardly unusual, Delany’s raw sexuality and his explorations of race
within science fiction have the power to startle.
Surely
a hero by any standards and one not limited to a “African-American”
nor “LGBT” definition.
