S3E2 - Delany's Nova

Episode Notes

S3 E2: Nova (1968) by Samuel R. “Chip” Delany


Frank forces everyone to read a favorite SF novel of his. Leah
joins for her first guest appearance.


Correction/clarification: Delany is meticulous about in noting
when his novels were written at the end of each manuscript, but
Frank is not quite as careful in his discussion of them. Nova was
written between 1966-67; Hogg was written between 1969-73,
overlapping with Dhalgren; Trouble on Triton was written between
1973-74.
