Stories for Chip
Edited by: Nisi Shawl & Bill Campbell
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.
As well as 28 stories, the volume contains the following essays:
* "Introduction" by Kim Stanley Robinson
* "Delany Encounters: Or, Another Reason Why I Study Race and Racism in Science Fiction" by Isiah Lavender, III
* "Walking Science Fiction: Samuel Delany and Visionary Fiction" by Walidah Imarisha
