Sanna kärlekssagor är osannolika, annars vore de inga sagor, utan banala vardagshistorier. Men Chips och Dennis kärlekssaga är mer osannolik än de flesta. Chip, litteraturprofessor och hyllad författare, möter Dennis, en skitig uteliggare, och ljuv musik uppstår. Aningen oväntat, kanske, men inte helt osannolikt. Men om professorn redan är en bra bit upp i den sansade medelåldern och svart, och uteliggaren är tolv år yngre och vit? Då blir det genast fler gränser att forcera och fler tabun att bryta. Men det som gör hela detta queera gränsöverskridande möte till en sann och ytterst osannolik kärlekssaga som kan få vilken förhärdad cyniker som helst på fall är att ur detta engångsligg mellan prinsen och tiggaren blommar Den Stora Kärleken – en kärlek som har hållit i över 20 år nu. "Kärleken övervinner allt, så låt oss besegras av kärleken", skrev den romerske poeten Vergilius. Och kanske är det så – kärleken övervinner allt. Om den är äkta. Och då blir det en saga. Samuel Ray Delany jr., även kallad ”Chip”, är en amerikansk författare, invald i Science Fiction Hall of Fame (2002). Under loppet av sin karriär har han vunnit flera av de främsta amerikanska priserna för science fiction-böcker, Nebula-priset fyra gånger och Hugo-priset två gånger. Han är professor i engelska och ”creative writing” vid Temple University i Philadelphia. Mia Wolff tillbragte sin uppväxt med att rita och klättra i träd. Hon tog examen i målning vid Pratt Institute 1987, varefter hon blev mottagande parten i en trapetsartistduo. Efter det har hon ägnat sig åt att måla och emellanåt framställa böcker. Hon bor i New York. Du kan se mer av henne på Miawolff.com.

Hogg

Hogg är en av världslitteraturens mest bisarra kärleks­historier. Berättelsen om den elvaårige Kuksugaren och den brutale lastbilschaffisen Franklin "Hogg" Hargus är lika oförglömlig som oförlåtlig. Samuel R. Delany skrev färdigt Hogg bara några dagar före de berömda Stonewall-kravallerna den 28 juni 1969: det historiska ögonblick då homosexuella för första gången organiserade sig och krävde mänsk­liga rättigheter. Det dröjde närmare trettio år innan Hogg kunde publiceras. Under tiden blev romanen den mest berömda av USA:s "opubli­cerbara" böcker, hyllad och fruktad för sitt osmältbara innehåll: obscent, homofobiskt, miso­gynt, rasistiskt och besynnerligt ömsint. Hogg bjuder in läsaren till en en värld där smärta och äckel inte står i motsättning till poesi och njutning, där orenheten och våldet är det mest mänsk­liga och intima. Markis de Sades, Georges Batailles och Jean Genets röster ekar i bakgrunden. Detta är den första svenska översättningen av Hogg. Samuel R. Delany (f. 1942) växte upp på övervåningen till faderns begravningsbyrå i Harlem, New York. Svart, homosexuell och dyslektisk har han skrivit en rad bästsäljande science fiction-romaner, bland annat Dhalgren och Nova, och är verksam som professor i litteratur och kreativt skrivande.

Twentieth anniversary edition of a landmark book that cataloged a vibrant but disappearing neighborhood in New York City In the two decades that preceded the original publication of Times Square Red, Times Square Blue, Forty-second Street, then the most infamous street in America, was being remade into a sanitized tourist haven. In the forced disappearance of porn theaters, peep shows, and street hustlers to make room for a Disney store, a children's theater, and large, neon-lit cafes, Samuel R. Delany saw a disappearance, not only of the old Times Square, but of the complex social relationships that developed there. Samuel R. Delany bore witness to the dismantling of the institutions that promoted points of contact between people of different classes and races in a public space, and in this hybrid text, argues for the necessity of public restrooms and tree-filled parks to a city's physical and psychological landscape. This twentieth anniversary edition includes a new foreword by Robert Reid-Pharr that traces the importance and continued resonances of Samuel R. Delany's groundbreaking Times Square Red, Times Square Blue.

In the fourth volume in the Why I Write series, the iconic Samuel Delany remembers fifty years of writing and shaping the world of speculative fiction “Delany’s prismatic output is among the most significant, immense and innovative in American letters.”—Jordy Rosenberg, New York Times “He dispenses wisdom about craft—including the demanding revision process his dyslexia requires—but most moving are the moments when he sheds light on connections he has made with other readers and writers. . . . Delany’s fans are in for a treat.”—Publishers Weekly, starred review Language is the way humans deal with past, present, and future possibilities, as well as the subset called the probable. This is where Samuel Delany finds his justification for the writing life. Since the 1960s, occurrences such as Sputnik, school desegregation, and the advent of AIDS have given Delany, as a gay man, as a black man, access to certain truths and facts he could write about, and the language—sometimes fiction, sometimes nonfiction—in which to present them. “We write,” Delany believes, “at the intersection of your experience and mine in a way, I hope, that allows recognition.”
