In a bit of news so surreal and exciting I can’t quite convince myself it’s real, I’ll be sharing a bill with one of my all-time science fiction heroes, Samuel R. Delany!!

388 Atlantic Avenue (ground floor)
Brooklyn NY
Doors at 6:30PM, show starts at 7PM – but this one is gonna be packed, so, plan on getting there early.

Clear your calendars! Book passage to New York City! The chance to see Samuel Delany read is worth it. Don’t come because of me. I’m not even icing on the cake. I’m the cupcake wrapper – more annoying than anything else. I will, however, do my best to be an awesome cupcake wrapper. To that end I’ll be reading a special slimmed-down tweaked and maybe-even-slightly-edgier edit of my Nebula-nominated novelette “We Are the Cloud.”

I could write a million-word blog post about how much I love Delany’s work, and how much it meant to me as a young queer SF junky to find such bold brilliant queer speculative fiction. I could write massive essays about how much hope and inspiration I drew from Times Square Red, Times Square Blue – one of my all-time favorite books – in my attempts to reconcile life as an activist and life as a writer. But I won’t. All I’ll say is:

YOU DO NOT WANT TO MISS THIS.
