Delany, Samuel R.
April 1, 1942
Born in Harlem in comfortable circumstances, science fiction writer and critic Samuel R. Delany graduated from the Bronx High School of Science and briefly attended City College of New York.
Despite serious dyslexia, he embarked early on a literary career, publishing his first novel, The Jewels of Aptor, in 1962. Delany has been a rather prolific writer, and by the time of his eighth novel, The Einstein Intersection (1967), he had already achieved star status in science fiction.
He was the first African American to devote his career to this genre.

Delany won the Nebula—one of science fiction's two most prestigious awards—in 1967, twice in 1968, and again in 1969. He received the other major science fiction award, the Hugo, in 1968 and 1989 (the latter for his autobiography).
Today, he is considered to be one of the wide-ranging masters of the field, having produced books of sword-and-sorcery fantasy as well as science fiction.
