6. In a lot of ways, Chandler was the perfect gateway for LOA to enter into genre publishing: his prose style is “literary” enough for respectability but he unquestionably wrote hard-boiled detective novels.

Reading now. This is a great essay. Also struck by this comment in light of some later MJH books.pic.twitter.com/JiUADSNyXE

I would definitely buy this. His books are very hard to find in stores these days.

No doubt Delany is important, but maybe a 2 to 3 vol. selection is enough. Would you really like to include all of his work? Even Hogg?
-
I think there would need to be: - Early novels and stories (incl. Babel-17, everything in Driftglass, Empire Star) - Dhalgren - Later novels and stories (Triton, Stars in my Pocket, the stories in Atlantis, Dark Reflections) - Selected Criticism 2 vols then there’s Neveryon.

I'll go a step further. Reprint. Fritz. Leiber >:( Reprint Fritz Leiber! I'll refrain from the all caps vers as it's too aggressive u_u(what bits of his writing I've managed to get are so accessible, imaginative, and vivid, and yet it's Hell to find them X| X|)

are these good? I work at a library. we're dumping excess old paperbacks from book sale donations. I rescued a grocery bag full of Samuel Delany, Piers Anthony, Anne Mccaffrey, & Phillip Jose Farmer. I'm unfamiliar with all these authors, but the covers were too good to destroy.

At least read the Delany. he’s great. The rest of them are mixed — Farmer is consistently entertaining and McCaffery has moments (I loved her stuff as a kid). Piers Anthony is brightly colored sexist garbage, but I liked them before I had filters.
