Book Review: Dhalgren
Dhalgren by Samuel R. Delany
My review
rating: 4 of 5 stars
Dhalgren was probably the most literary science fiction I have ever read. I suppose I say that because it had little to do with plot, in the sense that there really wasn't one. But the characters and their interactions are very interesting. Also, I really enjoyed looking at the way people try to assemble--not meaning--but some shape of a life from a society that has collapsed.
Definitely a book that will challenge people's ideas on sexuality, as well as race, gender, and how to define art. Some of it was rather intense for me to read, so I would not recommend this book to anyone who is easily offended.
