These great hollow globes of artificial super-metals, and artificial transparent adamant, ranged in size from the earliest and smallest structures, which were no bigger than a very small asteroid, to spheres considerably larger than the Earth. (Olaf Stapledon, STAR MAKER)
I have read the first two but as a Delaney fan I am embarrassed to say I have only read parts of Dhalgren. Maybe this is the year!
ReplyDeleteDelany, not Delaney! ;)
ReplyDeleteDhalgren is a tough road to travel. It is my least-read book by SRD.
