Wesleyan University Press has made a significant commitment to the publication of the work of Samuel R. Delany, including this recent fiction, now available in paperback. The three long stories collected in Atlantis: three tales -- Atlantis: Model 1924, Erik, Gwen, and D. H. Lawrences Aesthetic of Unrectified Feeling, and Citre et Trans -- explore problems of memory, history, and transgression.Winner of both the Hugo and Nebula awards, and Guest of Honor at the 1995 World Science Fiction Convention in Glasgow, Delany was won a broad audience among fans of postmodern fiction with his theoretically sophisticated science fiction and fantasy. The stories of Atlantis: three tales are not SF, yet Locus, the trade publication of the science fiction field, notes that the title story has an odd, unsettling power not usually associated with mainstream fiction.A writer whose audience extends across and beyond science fiction, black, gay, postmodern, and academic constituencies, Delany is finally beginning to achieve the broader recognition he deserves.

All the little household gods
Have started crying, but say
Good-bye now, and put to sea.
Farewell, dear friend, farewell...
W. H. AUDEN, "Atlantis"
Picture 4
The long shadow thrown from this single
obstruction to its own light!
Thought flies out from the old scars of the sea
as if to land. Flocks that are longings
come in to shake over the deep water.
It's prodigies held in time's amber
old destructions
and the theme of revival the heart asks for.
The past and future are
full of disasters, splendors
shaken to earth, seas rising to overshadow
shores and roaring in.
ROBERT DUNCAN, "Atlantis"
