  <default_description>A father must come to terms with his son's death in the war. In Venice an architecture student commits a crime of passion. A white southern airport loader tries to do a favor for a black northern child. The ordinary stuff of ordinary fiction--but with a difference! These tales take place twenty-five, fifty, a hundred-fifty years from now, when men and women have been given gills to labor under the sea. Huge repair stations patrol the cables carrying power to the ends of the earth. Telepathic and precocious children so passionately yearn to visit distant galaxies that they'll kill to go. Brilliantly crafted, beautifully written, these are Samuel Delany's award-winning stories, like no others before or since. </default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[How do we use English like a tone language?  Samuel Delany, in this collection of short stories, uses emphasis and inflection as a central feature of plots.

I am not a &quot;science fiction fan&quot; (pending), but I am a fan of good writing.  There is plenty of good writing in this book.

Towards the end, Prismatica tuggged the most at my heart strings, but then I loved the story about the futuristic crimelords and secret service agents.
