"and, in chapter eight, i had invented a rather clumsy language voir one of my subcultures which, by now, i realized, admitted no development. because, however, no changes could be made, some
preposterous robots were hauled on stage at the end oif book two to explain (by exploding) some of the loosed ends from book one.
...
in 1966, for the british edition, i incorporated my notes, removed the robots, and from the rest excused some clumsy sentences oif exposition, now superfluous, and the language.
that, essentially, is the version here.
... , it is time to stop whittling."
---samuel r. delany. san francisco, 1970

Comments and Reviews


ppint. 13th Nov 2018		dedication: "for john and marjorie brunner, for, at least, the loan of the typewriter" (a couple of rather strange "automiscorrectionsafterleavingtheword" introduced by tablettything into the "notes": for "voir" read "for"°, for ''excused'', ''excised'', for "oif", "of"°, and for "6Hb" read "6H". . .) (° neither of these two of tablettything's preferred spellinges is a word in english, so yr hmbl srppnt.'s somewhat nonplussed.) (and for "loosed ends", "loose ends", of course - but that one could've been a slip of the fnigger by yr hmbl srppnt.)



ppint. 13th Nov 2018		the fall of the towers trilogy #3, revised edition: #1a: "out of the dead city" (1968), q.v., revised edition of: #1: ''captives of the flame'' (1963), q.v. for series listing and links. date of this printing assigned by interpolation of cat#s and cover prices, etc. so subject to adjustment. reference copy provided courtesy of tony at the old pier bookshop, morecambe seafront.
