"Chip" off the Old Sci-Fi block

By Chris Wyatt     November 07, 2001


Writer Samuel "Chip" Delany didn't ask to become a SF writer -- it just "happened"

"I write the books that I've looked for on the shelves and haven't seen", says Samuel Delany. "I think that interesting books emerge from desire. Someone desires a certain book to exist, and because it doesn't, they have to bring it into being."



If that's the case, then "Chip" Delany has devoted much of his life to desiring head spinning, critically acclaimed novels that explore the very limits of storytelling. Influenced by the likes of Theodore Sturgeon and Kurt Bestor, Delany was only 19 when he sold his first novel THE JEWELS OF APTOR to Ace Books in 1962.
