De
uitgever:
The
title novella, “The Atheist in the Attic,” appearing here in book form for the
first time, is a suspenseful and vivid historical narrative, recreating the
top-secret meeting between the mathematical genius Leibniz and the philosopher
Spinoza caught between the horrors of the cannibalistic Dutch Rampjaar and the
brilliant “big bang” of the Enlightenment.
Plus:
equal parts history, confession, complaint, gossip, and personal triumph,
Delany's “Racism and Science Fiction” combines scholarly research and personal
experience in the unique true story of the first major African American author
in the genre. And featuring: a bibliography, an author biography, and our
candid, uncompromising, and customary Outspoken Interview.
