oh, my goodness, scorpion!! cannot believe you mentioned Dhalgren, the only other book i've ever read that comes close to The Road in recreating a mysterious post apocalypse that is at once utterly surreal and horrifying and totally familiar and believable at the same time. it has always seemed to me that you could go out and mention the book to a thousand people and never come across another sould who's read it. am always kinda stunned when i come across another reader. i think i've met about 3 or 4 people in the 30 years or so since i read it first who have also read it. now another. have you read other Delany stuff? i used to be absolutely crazy about the guy, and read everything i could find, but its been a while now. somewhere around age 30, i lost the sci fi thing.
