Science fiction; Sci-Fi Alternate History

In one of the most profound and bestselling science fiction novels

of all time, Samuel R. Delany has produced a novel ""to stand with the best American

fiction of the 1970s"" (Jonathan Lethem, bestselling author of Fortress of Solitude).

Bellona is a city at the dead center of

the United States. Something has happened there.... The population has fled. Madmen

and criminals wander the streets. Strange portents appear in the cloud-covered sky. Into this disaster zone comes a young man-poet, lover, and adventurer-known only

as the Kid.

Tackling questions of race, gender, and sexuality, Dhalgren is a literary

marvel and groundbreaking work of American magical realism.
