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.

>>7992689
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.

>>7992730
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

>>7992689
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
