Description
A race for the stolen phallus of a nameless god Phallos is a novel by Samuel R. Delany, set during the reign of the Roman emperor Hadrian. The story follows the search for a powerful artifact, a golden phallus said to hold ancient secrets of science and society. Delany's original novella has been expanded, and the text is accompanied by an afterword and three speculative essays. The story spans multiple locations, from Syracuse to Egypt, and from the Pillars of Hercules to Rome. Delany's vivid and clever writing brings the historical account of the murder of the emperor's favorite, Antinous, to life. This revised edition offers a fresh perspective on the original work, with additional insights and commentary. For readers interested in science fiction, social science, and LGBTQ+ studies, this novel provides a unique and thought-provoking exploration of power, knowledge, and identity.
