Aye, and Gomorrah: And Other Stories by Samuel R. Delany
3.0
I wish I could give this 3.5 stars, or maybe even 3.75. It grew on me drastically toward the end. Longer review later, hopefully, but for now:
Favorite story:
--"High Weir" (unsurprisingly: reminiscent of some of my favorite Le Guin stories)
Also a big fan of:
--"Driftglass"
--"Dog in a Fisherman's Net"
(A pairing with interesting resonances.)
Really liked some of the ideas but not all of the execution:
--"Aye, and Gomorrah..."
--"We, in Some Strange Power's Employ, Move on a Rigorous Line"
--"Night and the Loves of Joe Dicostanzo"
Deeply divided on:
--"The Star Pit"
--"Time Considered as a Helix of Semi-Precious Stones"
Neutral/kind of forgettable:
--"Cage of Brass"
--"Omegahelm"
--"Among the Blobs"
--"Ruins"
Slogged to get through:
--"Corona"
--"Tapestry"
--"Prismatica"
