I really like Samuel R Delany's prose. He's an excellent writer, with wonderful word choices and flowing sentences. Some of his stories, however, are space opera-ish. My loyal readers know I have a love-hate relationship with this sub-genre. Babel-17 is a space opera with a twist. It's about the deciphering of a language that is associated with guerrilla attacks during a war between the Alliance and the Invaders. It made the plot more interesting, but was still space opera.
