Dhalgren was in fact remarkably boring, made all the more amazing by its
huge  length.  You were wise to quit after only a few pages.  Long ago I
decided  there  were too many  good  books  in the  world to waste  time
finishing bad ones, and that putting down a book halfway  through is not
a sin.  With  Dhalgren,  however, I pushed on to the finish, and I still
don't know why.  I guess it looked so monumental  that I figured Delaney
just HAD be be building up to something.  WRONG.
