Happy Pride! Figured we get this summer started with a Nebula winner from the 60's, novel about language shaping thought; before we dive into lesbian vampires in July. Synopsis: Babel-17 is the co-winner of the 1967 Nebula for Novel. A fascinating tale of a famous poet bent on deciphering a secret language that is the key to the enemy’s deadly force, a task that requires she travel with a splendidly improbable crew to the site of the next attack. About the Author: Samuel R. Delany is an acclaimed Black, gay American author and literary critic, widely recognized as a foundational figure in both science fiction and queer literature.
