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:
“... feminism is a political term and it must be recognized as such: it is political in women’s terms. What are these terms? Essentially it means making connections: between personal power and economic power, between domestic oppression and labor exploitation, between plants and chemicals, feelings and theories; it means making connections between our inside worlds and the outside world.”
—Anica Vesel Mander, U.S. author and feminist, and Anne Kent Rush (b. 1945)
“I am a colored woman or a Negro woman. Either one is OK. People dislike those words now. Today these use this term African American. It wouldn’t occur to me to use that. I prefer to think of myself as an American, that’s all!”
—Annie Elizabeth Delany (b. 1891)
“The noble simplicity in the works of nature only too often originates in the noble shortsightedness of him who observes it.”
—G.C. (Georg Christoph)
