Book: Empire Star
Oct. 19th, 2007 09:46 pmAuthor: Samuel R Delany
Details: (c) 1966 Ace Books Inc; Pub 1996 Ace;
Verdict: Empire Star is delightful!
Reasons for reading it: My reactions to the Delany I've read so far range from enthusiasm to intense awe and joy, so I had high expectations of it.
How it came into my hands:![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
rysmiel pointed it out to me when I was going mad buying books in Montreal. I'm not sure why I've left it so long to read this given my regard for Delany. I think I was put off by the strange format; two novellas packaged together is fine, but printed so that one is upside-down relative to the other is disproportionately irritating.
