A writer of seemingly limitless range.
-- Michael Cunningham, author of The Hours .
This Stonewall Book Award-winning novel traces the life and unrealized dreams of Arnold Hawley, a gay African American poet.
The tale unfolds in three non-chronological parts, starting in the twenty-first century with Hawleys lonely old age and the failure of his latest volume of poetry.
The narrative then retreats to the 1970s to recount Hawleys impulsive marriage to a homeless woman.
A final section revisits the poets student days, during which an aborted sexual encounter sets the pattern for a lifetime of regrets and missed opportunities.
A meditation on isolation and sexual repression, Dark Reflections also offers an acerbic look at the literary world and the frustrations intrinsic to artistic life.
A devastating and beautifully written study of the loneliness and despair that so often accompany the life of the mind in America.
-- Publishers Weekly Dark Reflections is among the most detailed, thoughtful, and heartbreaking portrayals of a writers life.
-- Los Angeles Review of Books About the Author Author, professor, and literary critic Samuel R.
Delany has received both Nebula and Hugo awards.
