I hear this book is a supreme masterpiece
its complexity makes Ulysses look like a beginners book or something that..just the sheer amount of ideas in it
is this accurate?

I couldn't get through Dhalgren but I liked Ulysses. I just didn't get what the kid was doing in the city, what the deal with the bbc guy was, why there was so much gross sex, stuff like that. I want to like Delany's books and they're well written but every one gives me a literal headache. They're also really gay, and that leather stuff doesn't appeal to me at all.
The only work of his I like is "Aye, and Gomorrah" but that's only a few pages.

It's certainly complex and it's definitely a good book, but it's not as hard as Ulysses
Dhalgren - holograms = Hogg
