Product Description
Review
"A Joycean tour de force of a novel, Dhalgren...stake[s] a better claim than anything published in the country in the last quarter-century (excepting only Gass's Omensetter's Luck and Nabokov's Pale Fire) to a permanent place as one of the enduring monuments of our national literature."-"The Libertarian Review"
Synopsis
Finally re-released in paperback, this long out-of-print book is one of the most profound and best-selling science fiction novels of all time, critically renowned as one of the greatest works of 20th century American Literature. Bellona is a city at the dead centre of the United States. Something has happened there...The population has fled. Madmen and criminals wander the streets. Time moves differently for everyone. Two moons appear through the cloud-covered sky. Into this disaster zone comes a young poet, lover and adventurer who is unable to remember his own name. Known only as the Kid, he is emblematic of those who live in the new Bellona - the young, the poor, the mad, the violent, the outcast - the marginalised. Revolving around a mysterious and intricate layering of puzzles that will keep readers gripped until the end, Dhalgren is controversial, challenging and scandalous, brilliantly tackling serious questions of sex, gender, race, class, art and identity.
