“”I’m not a male chauvinist pig,” Kid said. “I’m a commie faggot…” — Dhalgren 📚 log(book)

I'm currently behind on reviews, so don't be surprised if the recent reviews are a bit sparse.

“I’m not a male chauvinist pig,” Kid said. “I’m a commie faggot pervert.”
“There’s nothing to stop you from being both.”

Dhalgren

★★☆☆☆

Asking me to rate Dhalgren by Samuel Delany is like asking me to rate Kafka's Process. I'm sure that they are both good books, objectively. I'm sure they are good books to many people out there. I can recognize their excellent language, their meta storytelling, their intense settings and the skilled ways they use language to provoke feelings (which they do!).
