Fwd: Starboard Wine -- reissued!

This just came through today -- but I already bought my copy. :)

Hope you're all having a great holiday season, and perhaps we can have some
late-year Delany discussions...

In *Starboard Wine*, Samuel Delany explores the implications of his
now-famous assertion that science fiction is not about the future. Rather,
it uses the future as a means of talking about the present and its
potentiality. By recognizing a text=92s specific =93difference,=94 we begin=
 to
see the quality of its particulars. Through riveting analyses of works by
Joanna Russ, Robert Heinlein, Theodore Sturgeon, and Thomas M. Disch,
Delany reveals critical strategies for reading that move beyond overwrought
theorizing and formulaic thinking. Throughout, the author performs the
kinds of careful inquiry and urgent speculation that he calls others to
engage in.
