Beschreibung
Two novellas and a full-length novel set in the land at the limit of history: ';The tales of Neveron are postmodern sword-and-sorcery' (The Washington Post Book World). InThe Tale of Plagues and Carnivals, a disease has come to Neveron. Men, rich and poor, have been stricken with itbut far fewer women. More and more die, and no one recovers. The illness seems to have first come from the Bridge of Lost Desire, a hangout for prostitutes male and female, but its spread through the city has been terrifying. And it will change Neveron forever, both its sexual and its political landscape. Written in 1984,The Tale of Plagues and Carnivalsis an astute fictionalization of New York City in the first two years of the AIDS crisis. Interwoven with the ancient story are Samuel R. Delany's modern accounts of what went on in the meanest streets of Gotham during that time. This wholly original novel (the first novel about AIDS from a major American publisher) is presented along with two other stories about mummers, prostitutes, and street people in the fantastic land of Neveron and its capital, port Kolharian ancient city that becomes more and more modern with each story.This ebook features an illustrated biography of Samuel R. Delany including rare images from his early career.
