Sci-Fi Monographs. Session 7 - Samuel R. Delany, by Angel Fernández Bueno

Join us for an insightful session led by Àngel Fernández Bueno from the Asimov Foundation. This installment focuses on Samuel R. Delany, a foundational figure in the transition of science fiction from its classic roots to the experimental "New Wave" era. Delany challenged literary conventions by exploring complex themes of identity, sexuality, language, and race. His work laid the groundwork for postmodern science fiction and paved the way for queer representation in the genre. This lecture is an essential opportunity for literature enthusiasts to deepen their understanding of how these works shaped modern speculative fiction.
