Review:

" A Joycean tour de force of a novel, Dhalgren... stake[s] a better claim than anything published in the country in the last quarter-century (excepting only Gass' s Omensetter' s Luck and Nabokov' s Pale Fire) to a permanent place as one of the enduring monuments of our national literature." - "The Libertarian Review"
