Delany's autobiographical graphic novel, drawn by Mia Wolff, about how he met a homeless man, Dennis, who became his partner.\n\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe runaway critical and commercial success of Alison Bechdel’s \u003ci\u003eFun Home\u003c\/i\u003e has paved the way for the re-issue of \u003ci\u003eBread \u0026amp; Wine\u003c\/i\u003e. Written by black, gay science-fiction writer, professor, and theorist Samuel R. Delany, and drawn by artist\/martial arts instructor Mia Wolff, \u003ci\u003eBread \u0026amp; Wine\u003c\/i\u003e is a graphic autobiography that flashes back to the unlikely story of how Delany befriend ed Dennis, and how they became an enduring couple—Delany, a professor at Philadelphia’s Temple University, Dennis, an intelligent man living on the streets. For casual readers and fans, \u003ci\u003eBread \u0026amp; Wine\u003c\/i\u003e is a moving, sexually charged love story, with visuals informed by Wolff’s professional physical pursuits. Her black-and-white, pen-and-ink work not only expressionistically represents the characters’ “body language” and the bustling New York setting, but is also filled with impish art references and visual puns. The scholarly potential for the book, based on the poem “Bread and Wine” by the German lyric poet Friedrich Holderlin, not only encompasses queer, African-American, and graphic novel studies, but also exploration in the literary and paraliterary academic fields. This edition includes an introduction by \u003ci\u003eWatchmen\u003c\/i\u003e writer Alan Moore, commentary by the book’s protagonists, Delany and Dennis, and a new interview with Delany and Wolff.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n                        \u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n                        \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSamuel Ray Delany, Jr.\u003c\/b\u003e, also known as “Chip,” is an American writer and Science Fiction Hall of Fame inductee (in 2002), and a recipient of four Nebula awards and two Hugo awards over the course of his career.
