5.0 out of 5 stars
Perhaps my fav next to Dhalgren,
By Herr Frog (Washington DC area) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Nova (Mass Market Paperback)
This is a great space adventure novel from the 1970's ripe with all the excess and energy of the "sixties" and as dreamy as any Roger Dean painting. If you want a great big purple psychedelic mushroom of a novel, this or a few others of Delaney's will do the job. This one is a fav though. It's straight-up sci-fi, but with a much higher passionate, dramatic flair, and BTW perhaps the first sci-fi novel I encountered where people did drugs. I could criticize Delaney for a million flaws I perceive in his style or ideas, but mostly I just praise him as a great American writer, and an intrepid explorer of the mind, body, and soul. He was an incredibly inventive writer, only just a little bit like Roger Zelazney, and just as much like a psychedelic Andre Norton.
