Writing is how I do my thinking. Thus, if you want to understand what I think, ask me to write—not to speak.
Interesting ruminations on largely the possibility of interviews (philosophically speaking) and the porous definitions which ascribe genre distinctions to SF. Tedious at times, largely because of the overlap, partially because Delany doesn't suffer the hasty assessment.
Delany on Derrida is never annoying but it does beg the question, why.
