I've always wanted to see Delany's work in film. I think
the books that would translate best to film would be Nova,
Babel 17, Dhalgren, The Bridge of Lost Desire, or an
Einstein Intersection. The other works are possibly too
complex for screen. I could see Mad Man becoming a
mini-series.
My copy of Dark Reflections arrived last week and is now
sitting in the top of my to-be-read pile! :)
