Rating:  Summary: Excellent! Best of the Neveryon stories Review: This is the first Delaney I've read, and so far, it is also the best. Great characters, great settings, great stories. If there is anything lacking, is that the other Neveryon books aren't up to the same level. (They are also very good, but not THIS good.)The other reveiwers have made some good points about why these stories are so good, but all I can say is read it yourself. It speaks for itself.
Rating:  Summary: Pretty good! Review: Very strange. It's not his greatest work, perhaps but Delany nonetheless is able to effectively subvert the fantasy genre for his own diabolical purposes. I'm really not sure what else to say--ya just gotta read it. I imagine some people will really loathe and despise it, and I have to admit, at times his various musings can become overly intrusive, but overall a read that I would characterize as "intriguing." Oh, and by the way, not that anyone cares, but the September 30 '99 review of Dhalgren is mine--I've no idea why I wrote it anonymously.
