Object Description
Item is a science fiction publication by Samuel R. Delany titled City of a Thousand Suns, with cover art created by Russell FitzGerald.
--
Acclaimed science-fiction writer Samuel R. Delany and his then-wife, the poet Marilyn Hacker, were a bohemian couple who spent time in San Francisco and their native New York. Through their friendship with the FitzGeralds, sci-fi became a new arena for Russell’s interest in mysticism and surrealism to flourish. Delany commissioned him to illustrate the covers for several of his books.
