From: Daniel Dern <ddern@bbncch.ARPA> Rick Schieve asks if anyone has read Sam Delaney's DHALGREN all the way through, whether the ending is any better, etc... Well, I've read through DHALGREN either 3 or four times. I'm not sure I can answer the other questions, but I felt it was worth the re-reading, just as rereading BOOK OF THE NEW SUN was. Other more obscure but interesting Delaney includes HEAVENLY BREAKFAST, a mostly autobiographical short novel of Delaney's life/times/experience in the rock group/commune of the same name, and THE TIDES OF LUST, deliberately erotic/pornographic (mild but highly descriptive). On the other hand, I'm in no hurry to buy the newest Neveryonia book, even in paperback (although I liked the previous two more than not). Daniel Dern ddern@bbn.arpa
