β¦ Synopsis
In Bellona, reality has come unglued, and a mad civilization takes root A young half?Native American known as the Kid has hitchhiked from Mexico to the midwestern city Bellona?only something is wrong there ... In Bellona, the shattered city, a nameless cataclysm has left reality unhinged. Into this desperate metropolis steps the Kid, his fist wrapped in razor-sharp knives, to write, to love, to wound. So begins Dhalgren, Samuel R. Delany's masterwork, which in 1975 opened a new door for what science fiction could mean. A labyrinth of a novel, it raises questions about race, sexuality, identity, and art, but gives no easy answers, in a city that reshapes itself with each step you take ... This ebook features an illustrated biography of Samuel R. Delany including rare images from his early career.
