Delany was one of my favorite authors -- until Dhalgren. Triton was a *little* better, but I haven't read any fiction of his since then; I gave up.
I'd suggest that somebody interested in Delany should read his Driftglass collection, whether or not they also like his later work.
I have a strange or at least rare fondness for Donald Moffitt, so The Jupiter Theft should get read eventually (I don't like his "Crescent in the Sky" books so much, but they might make interesting reading against today's geopolitics).
