Samuel R. Delany es un reconocido autor estadounidense, famoso por sus obras en ciencia ficción y fantasía. Nació el 1 de abril de 1942 en la ciudad de Nueva York, creció en Harlem como hijo de un bibliotecario del New York Public Library y el propietario de una funeraria. Proviene de una destacada familia afroamericana, con las pioneras de los derechos civiles Sadie y Bessie Delany siendo sus tías. La escritura de Delany le ha ganado numerosos premios, incluyendo dos veces el Hugo Award y cuatro veces el Nebula Award.
Delany comenzó su carrera de escritura a una edad temprana, publicando su primera novela de ciencia ficción a los 20 años. A lo largo de la década de 1960, publicó nueve novelas de ciencia ficción bien consideradas y varios cuentos premiados. Su undécima y más popular novela, "Dhalgren", se publicó en 1975. Además de la ciencia ficción, Delany también ha escrito ficción experimental, como "Atlantis: Three Tales" y "Phallos". Su serie de cuatro volúmenes "Return to Nevèrÿon" es espada y hechicería. Sus obras han sido ampliamente reconocidas, con "Babel-17" y "The Einstein Intersection" ganando el Nebula Award, y "Through the Valley of the Nest of Spiders" y "Dark Reflections" ganando el Stonewall Book Award.
Delany también ha sido una figura influyente en la academia, desempeñándose como profesor en varias universidades desde 1988. Ha publicado varios libros de crítica, entrevistas y ensayos, y ha escrito un popular libro de texto de escritura creativa, "About Writing". En su libro no ficticio, "Times Square Red, Times Square Blue", Delany drew from personal experience to examine the relationship between the effort to redevelop Times Square and the public sex lives of working-class men in New York City. En 2007, Delany fue el tema de una película documental, "The Polymath, or, The Life and Opinions of Samuel R. Delany, Gentleman."
