Samuel R. Delany
Voyage, Orestes! [a surviving novel fragment]
The surviving sections of an early, 1,056 page novel manuscript that was completed in 1963, the day before JFK's assassination, then lost when a building was pulled down with the manuscript in its basement. Delany has described Voyage, Orestes! as a "vast novel about poets, criminals, and folksingers loose in the streets of New York City." The episodes here, which stand on their own very well, tell the story of Jimmy Calvin, some of his travels, his family struggles and his adventures with his friend Geo, a poet, in the company of musicians, street people, thieves and more.
