About This Item

NY: Ace Books, 1967. 1st Edition . Soft cover. Very Good. First edition. Signed, dated, and inscribed by Delany on the title page. Mass-market paperback (6.5 x 4.25 in.), 142pp. A very good (+) copy, with a slight spine twist and a few light creases to the spine and front cover hinge (binding remains strong and secure). A retelling of sorts of the myth of Orpheus and Eurydice, in which a member of an alien race now residing on Earth searches for lost love while attempting to parse the cultural legacy of the long-extinct human beings. Winner of the 1967 Nebula Award for Best Novel and a finalist for the 1968 Hugo Award. Cover art by Jack Gaughan.

Synopsis

The Einstein Intersection is a 1967 science fiction novel by Samuel R. Delany. It won the Nebula Award for Best Novel in 1967 and was nominated for the Hugo Award for Best Novel in 1968. It is sometimes titled A Fabulous, Formless Darkness, the author's intended title for the work. The novel is purportedly influenced by the film Black Orpheus. The protagonist, Lo Lobey, is loosely based on the character of Orpheus. The character of Kid Death is likewise based on Death in that film.
