Stars in My Pocket Like Grains of Sand

I hate giving Delany's works three stars. His stories, characters, and prose are amazingly complex, almost academic. "Stars in My Pocket..." deconstructs race, sexuality, and gender the way only Science Fiction can, turning it on its head and forcing us to look at our own society in fresh and perhaps transgressive ways. At some point, very complex literature loses its appeal to me. I like prose, but I also need readability, something that eluded me with this book.
