From the supplier: Samuel R. Delany's 'Dhalgren,' exerted influence on those who did not read it. Delany's reputation when the novel appeared was of a great writer who had quickly lost his initial force, and 'Dhalgren' was supposed to be his most significant work. These expectations combined to daunt the would-be reader. The novel's complexity and the mixed reactions it produced enhanced its stature for the non-reader, a position which becomes more mysterious and fixed with time.
