This is a very nice collection of stories: essential Delany. 'Empire Star' is one of my favorite pieces, and, though it tends to leave one slightly dizzied with eyes hanging out of the head, reaching the end of this circular story is enlightening and leaves one beautifully changed.

The first Samuel Delany book I ever bought. He is an amazing writer.
