I think you're confusing Lester Del Rey (whose novel NERVES was first
published in the mid-fifties, though it's an expansion of a novelette
from a decade or so earlier) with Samuel R. Delany (contemporary
Afro-American gay academic and critic and sf/f author). NERVES would
probably be a good choice for a 10-year old reader; Delany probably
would not be.
