Atlantis

"[Delany] works real magic in these pages . . . Portions of Atlantis: Model 1924 linger, even loom, in my memory, and I suspect they will long endure there."—Hungry Mind Review

"Delany, who's best known for his science fiction, takes a variety of literary turns in these three novellas that chronicle the experience of the African American writer in the 20th century . . . Balanced and full of intricate layers of prose, these novellas present a potpourri literary references, detailed flashbacks and experimental page layouts. Delany seamlessly meshes graceful prose, cultural and philosophical depth and a knowledge of different forms and voices into a truly heady, literate blend."—Publishers Weekly

"The language is lush and striking. Deftly, Delany uses stream of consciousness, Surrealism, and typographic innovation to juxtapose fact, memory, and time."—Boston Phoenix Literary Supplement

"Delany sketches sympathetic portraits of young black men aswim in the dense, sweet hives of American cities."—New York Times Book Review
