Date: Wed, 28 Oct 1998 09:27:53 -0600 (CST) From: Bryan Alexander <balexand-AT-centenary.edu> Subject: Re: Deleuzian science fiction What a great subject header. I'd love to pursue this: Samuel Delany comes to mind. DHALGREN is ruthlessly nonarborescent, constantly nomadic, replete with machines assembling forces, people, changing intensities, shifting grounds, reterritorializing (plus there's that leftover family, a Family, all static and spooky/hilarious in clinging to the old codes). STARS IN MY POCKET LIKE GRAINS OF SAND makes this more formal, with the utopian/heterotopian galactic alliance of free play, variation, perpetual smooth spaces and reterritori.
