maiakobabe 's review for:
Nova
by Samuel R. Delany
A trippy, classic sci-fi tale of space travel and revenge. A crew of misfits signs on to a ship with a mad captain, obsessed with the idea of digging an impossibly valuable element out of a star at the moment it goes nova. Guided by the Tarot these wanders tell their stories- of being a homeless orphan running barefoot in Istanbul, a sheltered student from Luna, a wild college party boy crashing through silk and velvet costume parties on different planets every week- all seeking that indefinable thing. One tries to write in into a novel, one tries to paint it in music, another tries to predict in with the cards, but no one can predict the moment a star will die.
