Delanys influential and divisive 1975 novel Dhalgren gets a full critical treatment in this immersive and comprehensive collection.... Fans of Delaneys classic will want to snap this up. -Publishers WeeklyThe heart of this collection is the critical analyses. And the critic who does the most to unravel Dhalgrens engimas, of which there are not a few, is K. Leslie Steiner, a.k.a. Samuel R. Delany.... Steiners "Some Remarks Toward a Reading of Dhalgren"... is a virtuoso performance that brings Victor Hugo into an examination of the "interplay between perspective, perception, distortion, and architecture"; clues us in as to why all Kid recalls from a truck ride is the word artichokes; touches on Viktor Shklovskys definition of art as a form of defamiliarization-a concept eminently applicable to Bellona; and, among many other things, alerts us, in the event we didnt notice, that Dhalgren contains pastiches of W.H. Auden, Rainier Maria Rilke, and Paul Valery.... Steiner isnt the whole critical show, however. There are outstanding essays by Robert Elliot Fox, Marc Gawron, and Delany scholar Ken James.... By now it should be clear that On Samuel R. Delanys Dhalgren is a book for fans of Delanys most controversial novel. -Vincent Czyz, The Arts Fuse Details ISBN1515447723 Pages 272 Publisher Fantastic Books Year 2021 ISBN-10 1515447723 ISBN-13 9781515447726 Format Hardcover Publication Date 2021-09-09 UK Release Date 2021-09-09 Imprint Fantastic Books Author Bill Wood Edited by Bill Wood Audience General We've got this At The Nile, if you're looking for it, we've got it.
