	Starshards: An Irregular Samuel R. Delany Resource
		Delany is one of the more complex and colorful figures in the landscape of modern science fiction (and, indeed, literature).
		It is safe to say that Delany is an uncompromising intellectual with a tendency towards being recondite in his criticism: he never talks down to his audience, as much as they might appreciate a hand.
		He is also lavish in his efforts to educate the sf community, both in his voluminous science fiction criticism (he once produced a book-length critique of a Thomas Disch novel) and in his role as an educator (both as a professor and an instructor at the Clarion SF Writer's Workshop).

	Chunk#8 of EXTRATERRESTRIAL ENCYCLOPEDIA
		"Babel-17" by Samuel R. Delany [New York: Ace, 1968] is another novel which you and your Science Team must read and discuss.
		This complex study of alien language is strongly based on Delany's careful study of Semiotic and linguistic theory.
		He makes persuasive the possibility, for instance, that similar beings can agree on the idea of pronouns, but get absolutely backwards the relative meanings of "You" and "I." Samuel Delany is one of the world's science fiction authors most involved in linguistics, semantics, and semiotics (the science of signs and symbols).
