Stories for Chip: A Tribute to Samuel R. Delany
Edited by Nisi Shawl and Bill Campbell.
Stories for Chip: A Tribute to Samuel R. Delany brings together outstanding authors inspired by a brilliant writer and critic, Science Fiction Writers of America Grand Master Samuel R. “Chip” Delany. Award-winning SF luminaries such as Michael Swanwick, Nalo Hopkinson, and Eileen Gunn contribute original fiction and creative nonfiction. From surrealistic visions of bucolic road trips to erotic transgressions to mind-expanding analyses of Delany’s influence on the genre — as an out gay man, an African American, and possessor of a startlingly acute intellect — this book conveys the scope of the subject’s sometimes troubling, always rewarding genius. Editors Nisi Shawl and Bill Campbell have given Delany and the world at large, a gorgeous, haunting, illuminating, and deeply satisfying gift of a book.
