4.0 out of 5 stars early glimpse of some ideas developed in Dhalgren, September 30, 1997

By A Customer

Equinox offers an interesting early glimpse of some themes fully developed in Dhalgren; interracial attraction/aversion, the ambiguous relation of sex and violence, and how people deal with mental and/or physical extremes when suddenly confronted. While not a piece of "great literature", it definitely is a provocative read, and is a must for anybody studying the development of the author's oeuvre.
