Galaxies is a science fiction novel written by Barry N. Malzberg. [1] It was first published in 1975. [2] Galaxies is a metafictional work in which the writing of a science fiction novel becomes entwined with the novel being written.
Malzberg expanded his short work A Galaxy Called Rome into the full-length novel Galaxies. [3]
The mediacentric fakeness attendant upon the reality of the war effort and the neurotic tics of the crew are pure Barry Malzberg riffs. One might be reading a successor to Malzberg's Galaxies or perhaps Moorcock's The Black Corridor.
On the first page of his novel, Galaxies (1975), Barry Malzberg specifies a problem which will keep him from finishing.
Foundation14 then featured my review of Graven Images, the anthology containing Malzberg's novelette "Choral", in which I said that "although the expansion of 'A Galaxy Called Rome' into Galaxies worked very well indeed, I think Choral will be better left as it is".
