Description

The Rosenbach invites you to a conversation with iconic author, critic, and memoirist Samuel Delany as he remembers fifty years of writing and shaping the world of speculative fiction. “We write,” Delany believes, “at the intersection of your experience and mine in a way, I hope, that allows recognition.” In the fourth volume in Yale’s Why I Write series, Of Solids & Surds, Notes for Noël Sturgeon, Marilyn Hacker, Josh Lukin, Mia Wolff, Bill Stribling, and Bob White, Delany recalls friends and inspirations that helped to form his unique voice.  

Samuel Delany’s interlocutor for the evening will be Sally Grotta.
