DELANY, Samuel R.
Neveryóna, or: The Tale of Signs and Cities

She was fifteen and she flew.
Her name was pryn—because she knew something of writing but not of capital letters.

The 2nd volume in Samuel R. Delany’s sword-and-sorcery fantasy series, exploring his characteristic themes of language, power, gender, and the nature of civilization. 13 short stories and 2 “appendices” that chronicle a long-ago land on civilization's brink, its cultures, customs, and practices. Expect intense, lyrical world-making.
