A really interesting read! Both essays work really well together in exploring Delany's points, and feed off one another in interesting ways. I think the analysis about networking and contact is kind of ALWAYS relevant, and definitely makes me want to have other people read this book and work through their expectations and what they're thinking about on the topic. I would love to see a response from a woman on the topic, because I don't know that his thinking about it necessarily sufficient here, or at the very least he leaves room for other folks to think and explore those concepts.

Some of it feels slightly random--the part where he talks about Althusser seemed to come out of nowhere and not be super relevant to the rest of it, though I do think he had some interesting points in that part--but overall I definitely recommend this. The more theoretical half (Times Square Red) did not feel like it was too dense to be accessible, and I think could be really useful for students to read. I know it provoked a lot of thoughts for me, and I will be returning to it in the future.
