"Samuel R. Delany is not only one of the most profound and courageous writers at work today, he is a writer of seemingly limitless range." -- Michael Cunningham, author of The Hours This Stonewall Book Award-winning novel traces the life and unrealized dreams of Arnold Hawley, a homosexual African-American poet. Albert's poetry ultimately meets with modest acclaim but only after decades of striving. Romance and friendship are likewise elusive, despite an impulsive marriage to a stranger. His outsider status -- black, gay, and a poet -- compounds his struggles to create art, to find a readership, and to lead a meaningful existence.Beautifully written in reverse chronological order, the story opens with Albert's lonely old age and ventures back in time to his arrival in New York City of the 1950s. A meditation on isolation and sexual repression, Dark Reflections also offers an acerbic look at the literary world and the frustrations intrinsic to artistic life. "One of the most honest books I've ever read about the martyrdom of the writer in the contemporary world. Samuel Delany, who had entertained readers for decades with his rich fantasies, now gives us the truth and nothing but the truth. At certain points I wanted to put this book down because it was so sad -- but I couldn't because I was so enjoyable by its spare beauty and its searing frankness." -- Edmund White, author of A Boy's Own Story "Among the most detailed, thoughtful, and heartbreaking portrayals of a writer's life." -- Los Angeles Review of Books

These boot slippers are awesome!
Color: Long Black, Size: 10-13
Love 'em!
FINALLY found these after lots of searches.... I wanted "boot" type slippers FOR MEN, so in the cooler/colder weather my ankles stay warm, as well as my feet. (It's easy to find them for women, but for some reason pretty difficult to find them for men.) Well, Amazon must have added these recently, because I had checked a number of times this past winter/spring to no avail.
At any rate, these are GREAT! I had worn out another somewhat similar pair I had found on Temu a while back, but they were rather floppy and really too large and wide for my feet. After a year or so they had worn out, so I started searching anew, and found these on Amazon. These fit just great and are very well made, having a thick fleece and padded sole inside and a non-slip sole on the outside.
Very, very comfortable! Just what I wanted, and kudos again to Amazon!

Not durable, cheaply made for big guys 6’4 235lbs
Color: Gray Navy, Size: 13-16, Color: Gray Navy, Size: 13-16
Don’t recommend for men. Boys maybe but not men. I wore them twice for about 3 hrs before bed. Went to put in the 3rd time and they ripped. It’s literally a small sheet of Sherpa from the shoe and plastic wrap. I also got the bigger size and they still don’t fit right. I bought these right before my trip upstate during the holidays, because I live in Florida. I paid $20+ for these, hoping they would be good. 1/10 recommend

Size 13 (not 13-16)
Color: Gray Navy, Size: 13-16
I have a size 13 foot and these Winter Socks/Slippers just barely cover the length of my foot, so if you are over size 13 these will be too small_ they are well made and insulated_ they look nice, just like the pic, and I can go from my house to the my car in the snow without the bottoms getting wet_ they are cozy without my feet getting hot_ just wish they were a half inch longer on the foot size to be a more perfect size 13_ they feel about 12-1/2
