An anarchist community evolves, prominently featuring Delany’s protagonist, “the Kid,” a pansexual gang leader and poet. A futuristic, postapocalyptic narrative, Delany’s circular and heavily allusive fiction surveys the American “autumnal” city of Bellona, where some sort of disaster has taken place, altering not just the social structure but the nature of the space-time continuum. Through all these lives, it’s sold well-more than a million copies, supposedly-despite the demands it makes on readers, especially those expecting the more conventional SF that Delany published until Dhalgren’s appearance. The prolific Delany enjoys two audiences: the hard-core SF crowd and admirers of his more literary efforts, such as this humongous novel first published in 1975 as a mass market paperback, reprinted in cloth in 1977, then again by an academic press in 1996. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() I was very excited when Icon Media gave me an opportunity to giveaway another book. Then it hit me – I came up with a brilliant idea – Book Review Monday!! Or at least I think it is brilliant. ![]() So, upon receiving an opportunity to giveaway some books, it got me thinking about my love for reading, but I never feel like I can make the time. Being a pastor, an author, and a speaker, one of the questions I always get from people is, “What are you reading?” I suppose it’s because they want to know what I would recommend, what inspires me, or what I’m feeding on. I love it, but don’t always feel like I have the time to do so. If you don’t, well, one of my favorite things to do is read. I love to read! If you know me, you already know this to be true. Yep, it’s time again for Book review Monday and another giveaway as promised!
