\ From the Publisher"The tales of Neveryeon are postmodern sword-and-sorcery . . . Delany subverts the formulaic elements of sword-and-sorcery and around their empty husks constructs self-conscious meta-fictions about social and sexual behavior, the play of language and power, and - above all - the possibilities and limitations of narrative. Immensely sophisticated as literature . . . eminently readable and gorgeously entertaining." --Washington Post Book World\ "Delany continues to surprise and delight . . . [his] playfulness is the kind that involves you in the flow, forces you to see details in a larger context, yet never lets you forget that what you are reading is, after all, nothing but artifice, a series of signs."--New York Times Book Review\ "This is fantasy that challenges the intellect . . . semiotic sword and sorcery, a very high level of literary gamesmanship. It's as if Umberto Eco had written about Conan the Barbarian." --USA Today\ "Complex and carefully crafted . . . his language is lovely, often approaching the poetic."--Publishers Weekly\ \ \ \ \ \ Publishers Weekly - Publisher's Weekly\ The first two volumes in Delaney's Neveryon series explore sexuality, race and subjectivity in an ancient, barbaric civilization.
