It’s important to state that the book makes no real sense. I think that was a partial draw, but the book in general with its setting in a mysterious city of Bellona and the odd interaction in the entire city kept me sailing through what, at that time, was the longest book I’d ever read. And not just sexual but polyamorous with what ends up being a threesome among the main character Kidd, a woman named Lanya, and a gang member named Denny. It’s interesting coming back to the book after several years. I finally broke down and bought it and was immediately hooked. ![]() ![]() Shortly after high school it seemed like every time I went to the drug store or supermarket the book rack had a copy of Dhalgren.

I am required to go back to this book every few years. ![]()
