The Motion of Light
The Motion of Light
with BSL & STTR
Chip will read and talk about memoirs and memory.
Memoirs, memory, reflection and refraction suffuse Delany’s writing. His recollection of the “heart-thudding astonishment, very close to fear” of seeing an undulating mass of more than a hundred copulating male bodies in St. Marks bath house. His personal experience of the early years of the AIDS crisis, erupting into the fantasy narrative of the ancient civilisation of Nevèrÿon. Standing by the docks, thinking about shadow and light on water as a metaphor for race in America, while he tiredly fails to get blown. Such intimate autobiographical revelations allow him to reflect on the deepest aspects of personal and social life.
