On the other hand, this focus on non-commercial concerns has some drawbacks, as most of his books have gone out of print for long periods of time.Aaron Poundhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11747596648152141394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3304302673132222419.post-86443551411180225772012-10-08T13:53:47.802-04:002012-10-08T13:53:47.802-04:00I don't think he cares about speed.

On the other hand, turning out extraordinary writing every time probably takes a lot of care and thought, so if he sped up his output, the quality would probably suffer.Aaron Poundhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11747596648152141394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3304302673132222419.post-57728912113976400262012-10-07T13:11:31.392-04:002012-10-07T13:11:31.392-04:00Samuel Delany really is extraordinary.Samuel Delany really is extraordinary.Julia Rachel Barretthttp://juliarachelbarrett.netnoreply@blogger.com
