Editorial Reviews
From Publishers Weekly
The first two volumes in Delaney's Neveryon series explore sexuality, race and subjectivity in an ancient, barbaric civilization.
Copyright 1993 Reed Business Information, Inc.
Review
"The tales of Neveryeon are postmodern sword-and-sorcery . . . Delany subverts the formulaic elements of sword-and-sorcery and around their empty husks constructs self-conscious meta-fictions about social and sexual behavior, the play of language and power, and - above all - the possibilities and limitations of narrative. Immensely sophisticated as literature . . . eminently readable and gorgeously entertaining." --Washington Post Book World
"Delany continues to surprise and delight . . . [his] playfulness is the kind that involves you in the flow, forces you to see details in a larger context, yet never lets you forget that what you are reading is, after all, nothing but artifice, a series of signs."--New York Times Book Review
"This is fantasy that challenges the intellect . . . semiotic sword and sorcery, a very high level of literary gamesmanship. It's as if Umberto Eco had written about Conan the Barbarian." --USA Today
"Complex and carefully crafted . . . his language is lovely, often approaching the poetic."--Publishers Weekly
