Stories for Chip brings together outstanding authors inspired by a brilliant writer and critic, Science Fiction Writers of America Grandmaster Samuel R. “Chip” Delany. Award-winning SF luminaries such as Michael Swanwick, Nalo Hopkinson, and Eileen Gunn contribute original fiction and creative nonfiction. From surrealistic visions of bucolic road trips to erotic transgressions to mind-expanding analyses of Delany’s influence on the genre—as an out gay man, an African American, and possessor of a startlingly acute intellect—this book conveys the scope of the subject’s sometimes troubling, always rewarding genius. Editors Nisi Shawl and Bill Campbell have given Delany and the world at large, a gorgeous, haunting, illuminating, and deeply satisfying gift of a book.

Diverse authors and diverse modes of literary expression characterizes this collection

By J. Rodriguez on August 10, 2015

Format: Paperback

Stories for Chip is mix of 33 pieces, some are fiction and others are nonfiction. Unfortunately there wasn’t an introductory essay explaining the rationale for the pieces chosen nor for the organization of the book. Perhaps this will be added in a later release of the book, I do not know. As I read the book I felt jolted from one story, one experience to the next. However that is what is most outstanding about this book. There is a fabulous diversity of writers and modes of expression – this group is multi-gendered, multiracial, multiethnic, and international. The aggregate of all of those points of view and types of literary expression does truly make the whole greater than the sum of its parts.

Exercise for your brain

By littlevoice on November 28, 2015

Format: Kindle Edition

(Disclosure: I received an electronic review copy via NetGalley.)
As the blurb says, the short works within Stories for Chip cover a wide scope of styles, sub-genres and themes, whilst staying true to the overall vision. You'll find everything from erotic horror to space drama to chilling dystopias to non-specfic slices of life. The essays range from scholarly to deeply personal.

Standout favourite for me is the first story, Billy Tumult by Nick Harkaway. It's fun, clever and inventive. I also particularly enjoyed the steampunk-flavoured Jamaica Ginger by Nalo Hopkinson and Nisi Shawl with its resourceful young heroine.

Be warned: This is by no means a lightweight read.As a relatively uneducated reader with little familiarity with Delany's work, I found some of the stories and essays difficult to appreciate. By all accounts, Delany is an exceptionally intelligent man, and this lofty intellect is reflected in the contents of this anthology. For an example, here is a one sentence excerpt from Hal Duncan's An Idyll in Erehwyna -

Poesis is the suppositional calculus, notated not in symbol but in stance: epistemic, alethic, deontic, boulomaic.

A second warning: Don't let this put you off. It does no harm to stretch your brain every now and again.

Nobody's *like* Chip, so it's appropriate that these are stories FOR. It's neat to see how he's influenced others, and what people who write might want him (and us his lucky readers) to read!

Uneven but still fascinating

By ecgordon at on August 9, 2015

Format: Paperback

The quality of the stories is uneven, but several are outstanding, especially the essays. I read this in e-book form provided by NetGalley.com, and the acknowledgments page was not included, so I'm not sure of the copyright date on all of them. "Jamaica Ginger" by Nalo Hopkinson and Nisi Shawl was my favorite story, and if it's eligible I'd nominate it for a Hugo next year. The same goes for the three major essays, but most especially the one by L. Timmel Duchamp. Full review at - http://templetongate.net/storiesforchip.htm
