Delany uses a weird space opera setting to touch the deeper topic of the construction of language and the way different languages shape and determine our thinking in different ways, even on the same topics. the philosophical background of young Delany might not be perfectly elaborate but his thoughts surely are intriguing. this is an extraordinary sci-fi novel and a good read.
