Stories for Chip brings together outstanding authors inspired by a brilliant writer and critic, Science Fiction Writers of America Grandmaster Samuel R. "Chip" Delany. Award-winning SF luminaries such as Michael Swanwick, Nalo Hopkinson, and Eileen Gunn contribute original fiction and creative nonfiction. From surrealistic visions of bucolic road trips to erotic transgressions to mind-expanding analyses of Delany's influence on the genre--as an out gay man, an African American, and possessor of a startlingly acute intellect--this book conveys the scope of the subject's sometimes troubling, always rewarding genius. Editors Nisi Shawl and Bill Campbell have given Delany and the world at large, a gorgeous, haunting, illuminating, and deeply satisfying gift of a book.

Nisi Shawl is a writer whose work has been published at Strange Horizons, in Asimov's SF Magazine, and in anthologies including Dark Faith 2, Dark Matter, The Moment of Change, and The Other Half of the Sky.

Industry Reviews

"Here's a tribute anthology to one of the greatest living science fiction authors, including works by Junot Diaz, Eileen Gunn, Chesya Burke, Nalo Hopkinson and Geoff Ryman, which play with sexual identity and race, while some essays also celebrate Delany's work. Publishers Weekly gave this book a starred review, and SFSignal says these stories 'honor the man of the hour in many of his facets without ever falling into kitsch or fawning.'" --i09.com
"If Stories for Chip invites us to read for Delany, to see Delany's influence, it would be best to look for places where the stories' sentences, ideas, and concerns resonate with Delany's landscapes. In The Semiology of Silence (in Silent Interviews, 2011), Delany calls himself a 'sentence lover.' The beauty of Stories for Chip is the way in which Shawl's and Campbell's editorial call for work to celebrate Delany generates new sentences full of possibility and danger." --Mark C. Jerng, Los Angeles Review of Books
"It's only fitting that Stories for Chip, an anthology honoring professional polymath Samuel R. Delany would feature a ridiculous variety of stories. It's also only fitting that they would be inventive, incisive, and filled with joy." --Leah Schnelbach, tor.com
"What can a reader expect to get from these pages? A fan of Delany's writing, be it fiction or non-fiction, can expect a wonderful diversity of authors who love his work and want to show their ties and inspiration to the man." --Karen Burnham, SF Signal
