To clarify - I did not mean to discourage Ralph from being here. Like the other commenters, I find his contributions fascinating; I just don't find the "those...
... NH: Hell, I once asked Delany where it had come from, and had to feel pathetic as he explained. Dang. -nalo url: http://www.sff.net/people/nalo/ ng:...
To tie up some loose ends: Looking through my notes, I see that Sun Ra's right wing views are also documented in this book, well worth reading on all accounts:...

I took the occasion to give a scrute to Ms. Hopkinson's blog, and followed a link to the essay: "Brown Girl in the Ring and White Witches on TV (and how magic...
Wow. Ralph, this weekend's posts have, if nothing else, given me a clearer impression of how different our "frameworks" are, both in terms of experience and in...
Well, I take Karl Marx much more seriously than I ever took Allen Ginsberg. Ginsberg's heart was in the right place, and he was eloquent in a number of spots,...
... The almost-funny thing is that from my perspective I read _Triton_ completely wrong, and was surprised to read, many years later, Delany talking about what...
... NH: :) That's interesting. It's also been years since I read Triton, but I identified with the Spike, and through her eyes was able to see what a pain in...
My memory may be dimming, but I disagree that Delany meant Bron as a bad person who got what he deserved. (And you can be sure I did not identify with Spike.)...
... Interesting. I fit that self-description _almost_ to the tee - even same graduating year - except that I'm not really Jewish. (Part-Jewish ancestry, grew...
... Ditto ditto, though I'm 10 years younger than the two of you (highschool '86, middle class Jewish white kid). I was enthralled by the setting and sort of...
I know I jumped into Triton when I was around 17, expecting more NOVA and was really puzzled by Bron's misbehaviour. Up unitl there I was just taking him at...
... I haven't gone back to the text, but I remeber on previous readings thinking that one of these books was "Voyage Orestes!" -- Delany's lost novel....
The next question is: what do you think Delany expected of his readers when he wrote TRITON? Did he expect (some percentage of) them to react as some of you...
... I don't normally get into this sort of thing, but a point of clarification is in order: Ralph Dumain is *not* a socially constructed Black person. He...
... I do not pretend to know how Delany expected teenaged white middle-class heterosexual males to respond. Indeed, I suspect that teenaged etc. were not the...
Re: whether Delany is "generous" toward his characters... hmm, I'm not sure I know what that means. I've read Triton quite a few times and I find it his most...
... I never even thought about this question before the last spate of posts on Bron. I haven't the foggiest what sort of audience he had in mind. But ...
... I'd disagree on the (speculative) effectiveness, I think. A first-person narrator is explicitly structuring the narrative (and explicitly unreliable) in a...
Hey everyone, - Ralph Dumain is *not* a socially constructed Black person. He studies Black people, he likes some Black people and has contempt for most...
