Thank you for these rare clips of Samuel R. Delany reading from his works and commenting on them. The quality is great. I wondered how to pronounce Dhalgren until now. There's nothing like hearing a book in the author's voice to calibrate the tone of the work.
I remember when you lived in the lower east side and knew a girl named (Jacky) Mary. You let her stay at your place for a little while. Did you ever wonder if she was ok? lol Yup. She is. Thank you.
These are extra scenes from the documentary _The Polymath, or The Life and Opinions of Samuel R. Delany, Gentleman_ , directed by Fred Barney Taylor. The DVD version included an extra disc with all of these interviews on it.
Imagine a guy like this, who literally wrote Dhalgren, reading from Dhalgren, the way he read from a novel so profoundly strange, harrowing, funny, tragic, and almost insidious, as a book like Dhalgren..
Dhalgren: 0:11, 1:42, 5:00, 5:35
Nova: 7:14, 9:19
Atlantis: 10:36, 11:48
The Motion Of Light and Water: 14:07
Times Square Red, Times Square Blue: 15:40, 16:25, 17:03, 17:14
I cannot believe that noone has commented on these videos of such a great man that's still vibrant and still writing. Thanks for posting.

Btw, it's so cool to see the author himself reading so many of my favorite passages. This is priceless.

Delaney is the Santa Klaus of science fiction
