selfnoise 's review for:

Babel-17/Empire Star by Samuel R. Delany

4.0

---

A pair of early works from Delany... both full of amazing ideas and tight, economical prose. I like both of them, and I made the right decision in reading both this time, as they inform one another. I do feel that the stories are both a bit... glib? I think I prefer his later stuff, but these are excellent.
