"Dhalgren" -- what? Why? What do you think are the links between such vastly different works, produced in vastly different eras by authors who could hardly be more unlike each other? Seriously, I'd love to know how you'd relate them.


Others have commented on a description of the literal style/structure of "Dhalgren" that "it sounds a bit like 'Ulysses'". I suppose I'll know once I finish the books by Joyce :-)


There are structural similarities between Finnegan's Wake and Dhalgren because both are circular stories where the end joins up with the beginning.
