Re: Delany List past

I'm still here, but I haven't read anything by Delany in some years, 
sadly, and I've been otherwise preoccupied. However, I do think about 
simplex-complex-multiplex.

Small world dept.: I was going over some of my old web pages, and I 
found a surprising Delany reference:

"Leslie Fiedler and Me" 
<http://autodidactproject.org/other/mfried/fiedler.html> by Emanuel Fried

Manny gave me this piece in 2003, but I overlooked the note saying it 
was going to be published in . . .

/Fifties Fictions 
<http://www.amazon.com/Fifties-Fictions-Samuel-R-Delany/dp/1929512120/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1308658579&sr=1-1>/ 
by Samuel R. Delany and Josh Lukin

I've never seen this book, so I don't know if this happened, but I 
assume it did.

Manny was a radical labor organizer who was blacklisted in the '50s and 
took to playwrighting. Production & promulgation of his plays were 
thwarted by the same people who opposed him as a union organizer. 
Manny's proletarian drama was unique in American theater. It would not 
have occurred to me to link him to Delany, but here we are.
