Dhalgren is the Greatest SF novel of the past 50 years
In my opinion, Dhalgren is the most important science fiction novel of the past half-century - and possibly the most important novel, period. Delany deals with everything important in our society in these so-called "modern" times: Racism; Homophobia; Sexual experience in all its varieties; what Art is and does and where it comes from; traditional or so-called "dominant" society versus "fringe" alternatives, and how each of those societies see and reacts/interacts with the other; Capitalist greed versus, or compared to, communal, "clan" or so-called "gang" values and societal structure; Music, Poetry, and creativity; The Media and "mainstream" religion as dominating, controlling and punishing entities. The above list does not cover everything Samuel R. Delany tackles in the nearly-900-page behemoth - which I have read 8 times since discovering it a number of years ago.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Neu
