In Dhalgren, perhaps 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).

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.

And 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.
