Connections To Other Delany Works
Late in the third section we learn that, at the request of a close friend, Arnold anonymously wrote a pornographic novel. It is possibly Phallos, the fictional novel quoted from and referred to extensively in Delany's 2004 novel, also titled Phallos. This connection is very similar to the connection between two of Delany's earlier novels, Babel-17 and Empire Star.

Famous quotes containing the words connections, delany and/or works:
“Our business being to colonize the country, there was only one way to do it—by spreading over it all the associations and connections of family life.”
—Henry Parkes (1815–1896)
“[My mother told me:] “You must decide whether you want to get married someday, or have a career.”... I set my sights on the career. I thought, what does any man really have to offer me?”
—Annie Elizabeth Delany (b. 1891)
“The slightest living thing answers a deeper need than all the works of man because it is transitory. It has an evanescence of life, or growth, or change: it passes, as we do, from one stage to the another, from darkness to darkness, into a distance where we, too, vanish out of sight. A work of art is static; and its value and its weakness lie in being so: but the tuft of grass and the clouds above it belong to our own travelling brotherhood.”
—Freya Stark (b. 1893–1993)
