"Reading is a many-layered process - like writing," observes Samuel R. Delany, winner of the William Whitehead Memorial Award for a Lifetime Contribution to Gay and Lesbian Literature. These five long essays ask the reader to read and respond in new and exciting ways: Antonin Artaud, Richard Wagner, Donna Haraway, and Hart Crane are the dramaturges, thinkers, and poets among whose works Delany mounts his extended interrogations.
