	Dhalgren (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Dhalgren was originally published in 1974 as a paperback original (a Frederik Pohl selection) by Bantam Books.
		Subsequently, Dhalgren was republished by Gregg Press (1977), Grafton (1992), University Press of New England (Wesleyan) (1996) and by Vintage, an imprint of Random House (2001), the latter two with an introduction by William Gibson.
		Critical reaction to Dhalgren has ranged from high praise (both inside and outside the science fiction community) to extreme dislike (most within the science fiction community).

	Bookreporter.com - DHALGREN by Samuel R. Delany
		Several months after DHALGREN was published I attended a science fiction convention that featured a panel discussion consisting of Pohl; Harlan Ellison, at the most prolific and creative high point of his career; and Joe Haldeman, who had published a couple of excellent books at that point and was highly regarded as an up-and-comer.
		DHALGREN is a novel that is full of contradictions, conundrums, and conflicting emotions.
		DHALGREN takes place in an urban landscape where the laws of nature have broken down and the laws of mankind have as well; there is no way to tell which breakdown preceded the other.

	Science Fiction Weekly Interview
		Dhalgren started out, the original prospectus for the book, was for a series of five political novels that was with Avon Books, who drew up a contract for them.
		Dhalgren is just one of many books and essays you've written over the years on the importance of cities, or the importance of cities to you.
		Dhalgren, when it was a manuscript, it went off, and the next thing I got were galleys, so I never had the copyedited manuscript.

	Lambda Sci-Fi Books
		This book by Samuel R. Delany - one of the most accomplished authors in SF and one of the fathers (oh, Daddy!) of cyberpunk - has been out of print for quite a while; and its re-publication (with a new forward by William Gibson that's fabulous!) is the cause of this commentary.
		Superficially, Dhalgren is about a man who has forgotten his name, coming to the abandoned city of Bellona, somewhere in the United States, sometime in the mid-Twentieth Century, and what happens to him there.
		Dhalgren is as close to being non-linear as I think it is possible to write.

	Dhalgren
		Dhalgren, a science fiction novel by Samuel R. Delany, begins with this immortal line.
		What follows is an extended and increasingly hallucinatory trip through a city divorced from reality and reason.
		It is not until the final chapter of Dhalgren that the meaning of the entire experience is laid down, and even then it is elusive.

	Classic Science Fiction Reviews
		Dhalgren is at least half conversation, and this plethora of voices is one of the book's unique charms.
		From the long disquisitions by Ernest Newboy on art to the slangy utterances of the most uneducated scorpion, from the street-level treatise on rape by George Harrison to the blithering of Mrs.
		The way everyone in Bellona unquestioningly "does their own thing," the "groovy, man" level of acceptance and willingness to experiment--these attitudes now seem impossibly foreign, after the seismic shifts of the '80s and '90s.

	bi.org.au - dhalgren (via CobWeb/3.1 planetlab2.netlab.uky.edu) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Written in the mid-nineteen-seventies, Samuel R Delaney’s Dhalgren is not an easily digestible road trip book, which a synopsis of the plot might suggest.
		Instead, Dhalgren is a series of observations about how people interact with each other, and the landscape of their city of Bellona.
		If you find the 1996 edition of Dhalgren, you will also be treated to a rather gushing forward by William Gibson, the author of many a fast paced cyber-punk tale.

	The SF Site Featured Review: Dhalgren
		There's a list of names (the significance of which is unknown), including that of William Dhalgren, who may or may not be someone he has known, or maybe is him.
		I have sometimes felt that I partially understood it, or that I was nearing the verge of understanding it...
		Gibson is just one of a number of SF writers who claim Dhalgren to be inspirational, among them Paul DiFillipo and Elizabeth Hand.

	Samuel R. Delany \| The A.V. Club
		The Onion: In the introduction to Dhalgren, William Gibson describes the book as a riddle that was never meant to be solved.
		Dhalgren is the kind of book in which you can look for pretty much anything you want.
		I think certainly one of the things that came to kind of dominate the book is that in the late '60s and early '70s, almost every major city in the country developed a kind of burned-out inner city.

		On the one hand, it is tempting to reject it outright because of the cacaphony of story lines and blending of cultural prospectives, but if I were to do that, I would deter you from a work that has an excellent use of imagery and character development.
		One of Dhalgren's strengths is its unsual plot line: a young bisexual fl-algonkin man comes into a town called Bellona that exists outside of space and time.
		In the process of his living in Bellona he comes to terms with both his sexuality, his amnesia--since he cannot remember his name or anything about who he is, and his abilities as a poet.

	Reason: Dhalgren in New Orleans: What an old science-fiction novel can tell us about the Big Easy
		New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin and Louisiana Gov. Kathleen Babineaux Blanco publicly disagreed over whether residents would be forcibly evicted from their homes during the cleanup, while thousands of the city's approximately 10,000 remaining residents remained adamant in their resolve to stay.
		Dhalgren's micro-detailed images of the streets of Bellona portray a city that is both hellish labyrinth and temporary autonomous zone.
		Some of the most beautiful parts of Dhalgren concern Kid's attempts to write poetry in a language that's appropriate to the strangeness of the city, and Lanya's intricate experiments with tape-loops and harmonica.

	Dhalgren Study Guide by Samuel R. Delany: Themes
		A major theme of Dhalgren is how society uses art, science, and religion to investigate reality; the limits of Wittgenstein, Goedel, and Heisenberg are in force.
		One of the questions of the novel, "What has happened to Bellona?" receives many answers, each of which says as much about the observer as about the phenomenon he addresses.

	EvilSponge: Dhalgren by Dick Richards
		It's actually the 5th Sine Fiction release, and is a set of songs designed to accompany Samuel R. Delany's bizarro classic, Dhalgren.
		Besides, it's supposed to be circular, meaning that you should be able to start at any point, read to the end, start at the beginning, and read up to where you started, and it will all make sense.
		Up until thos point, i have enjoyed this release, but most of it has been ambient and wierd, whereas this is a good song that i think might even appeal to ravers and the like (as opposed to sci-fi geeks and ambient fans, like the rest of Dhalgren).

		What is Dhalgren Dhalgren is one of the greatest novels of 20th-century American literature.
		Dhalgren explores the relation between characters and author (or, perhaps, characters, "author," and author).The final chapter can be even tougher going than the opening pages, with its viewpoint change and its stretches of braided narrative--and the novel ends with the beginning of an unfinished sentence.
		Though pushing 30, Dhalgren features themes of racial identity, religious faith, and self-awareness revealed in a multilayered plot that will be right at home with today's audiences.

		Reading Dhalgren was like swimming through mushy beans with cows tied to my legs.
		That would be hard for him to know since he says he only read 100 pages and then tossed it.
		To draw attention to Dick’s “adventures” (whilst ignoring those of God-knows how many other people in and outside of the genre) as a means to discredit his opinion on Dhalgren is at best a Straw Man argument.

		I don't like Dhalgren anywhere near as much as I like Nova, Babel-17, and Stars in my Pockets Like Grains of Sand, but haven't read it for some time.
		i felt like jonathan lethem's "amnesia moon" was similar to dhalgren in some ways, though the allusions were far easier to spot and understand.

		And I'm still picking my way through the lovely reissue of his postmodern {and I mean that in the best possible sense} magnum opus Dhalgren that I bought, oh, a year and a half ago.
		IMHO, Dhalgren is one of the definitive works of later half of the 20th century.

	An Interpretation of Dhalgren
		I equate Dhalgren with Moby Dick: there's something going on here, something important, but the meaning escapes me.
		I've always had a theory about the plot and wanted to air it to see what would happen (I was careful to use a lot of apologies and disclaimers in the lead-in ).
		My guess about the plot of Dhalgren may be wrong, but it involves the ending of the book and thus constitutes a ***SPOILER***.

		In January 1994, I built a small MOO at Princeton, called Dhalgren, inspired by the science fiction of Samuel Delany and William Burroughs.
		In the mid '90s, Dhalgren was a well-known MOO, respected for its dark, literary style.
		Besides my references to Delany and Burroughs, a grad student from Portland created a haunted carnival, a grad student from Brown added to the Delany theme and played the role of Kid, and an English professor from Rutgers created a theater featuring Japanese plays and poetry.

		Pros: Dhalgren is an underrated literary classic that should gain more attention.
		Cons: If you don't like James Joyce or dislike controversial topics you'll be bored or angry.
