Is it as good as they say? Is it better than Hogg?

Yes and yes. It's probably the best written, most interesting science fiction novel of the latter half of the 20th century.

I got bored half way in and had trouble finishing it. Other than the sex scenes nothing really interested me.

Better than Hogg? Well no Hogg is his Magnum Opus.

Is Hogg actually good? I sometimes see the quote from it about pissing oneself and eating boogers or something.

Is it better than Solaris, Gravity's Rainbow or The Book of the New Sun?

He is a pedophile

GR isn't sci-fi

>>7992839
No, it's not good. People who recommend it are trolling.

>>7992852
Actually it's more sci-fi than a lot of so-called sci-fi

>>7992852
GR is pretty darn close to scifi

Fantastic novel. A lot of the very experimental stuff is subtle and really clever. Delany really creates a very strange and intriguing world to live in for a good 800 pages all the while sowing in a smart racial commentary and explaining what it means to be a writer in the least pretentious way
