This week, we’ll read two short stories from Samuel R. Delany: “Aye, and Gomorrah” and “Driftglass” (pp. 102-121). “Aye, and Gomorrah” is also included in the collection behind the second link, but that copy is very marked up, so you’ll probably prefer to read the cleaner version behind the first link.

In particular, the discussion of Umour (pp. 107-172) stands a chance of proving abundantly worthless. I’d like to be there to gab with you, for he is a wonderful wraith indeed, but phynance importunes…
