![]() ![]() Stars in My Pocket Like Grains of Sand is only thirty years old, but in some ways it feels like it’s from an era much further away in time. So much of his writing is grounded in the cultural revolutions of the twentieth century, from the civil liberties movement to the sexual revolution to demarchist and anarchist alternatives to the democratic/communist stalemate of the Cold War. Delany is an interesting author for someone like me to try reading. But the blurb is right about one thing: Stars in My Pocket Like Grains of Sand is both extraordinary and transcendent. Someone has been critiquing literature a little too long. ![]() According to the blurb on the back of my edition, “it invites the reader to collaborate in the process of creation, in a way that few novels do”. So … I don’t think I’d go as far as The New York Times Book Review does in praising this book. ![]()
