Samuel Delany writes in the literary realm of SF.  His earlier stories (up
until "Nova") are well written, have vivid images, and reasonably
traditional plot structures.  Then he spent several years writing some
amazing short stories ("Time Considered as a Helix of Semi-Precious
Stones" & "Aye, and Gomorrah").  Then he produced "Dhalgren".  "Dhalgren"
produces few ambivalent readers, people either love it or hate it.  (I
didn't particularly like it when I read it 5 years ago, but I'll have to
give it another shot to see if my tastes have changed).  Since then he's
done several academic works on SF, written on the "Sword & Sorcery" series
of Neveryon & produced "Stars in My Pocket Like Grains of Sand" [the
sequel of which still isn't out].
