The ballad of beta 2 (1965)

The Ballad of Beta-2'spacing is brisk and it's more novella than novel, yet Delany manages to packan astonishing amount of world-building and thematic depth into what's a veryshort book

and this is the ballad of beta 2 and Empire star tourist novellas and this is fantastic stuff

it was great and i think so far it's one of my favorite novels novellas by samuel r delany
