You are cordially invited to a special "Meet & Greet" breakfast event with critically acclaimed and award winning science fiction writer and critic, Samuel R. Delany. Renown for his imaginative world building and critical insight, Delany's works address race, sexuality, and social issues, as well as perception, language, and the complexities of the human experience.

Space is limited for this unique opportunity. Kindly, use this RSVP Link to reserve a seat.

This event is a collaboration between the Modern Culture and Media, the Center for the Study of Race and Ethnicity in America, the Center for the Study of Slavery and Justice, and Africana Studies at Brown University. 

About Samuel Delany

Delany's prodigious literary talents are intimately informed by his experiences as a gay black man, the grandson of a freed slave and nephew of famous civil rights workers. He is also an acute observer of off-the-grid urban spaces, the textures of micro-neighborhoods, and queer locations; he's published some of these observations in his non-fiction book, Times Square Red/Times Square Blue and regularly on Facebook. He is also a well-known LGBTQ activistic and a charismatic personality.
