That shit makes me hesitant to recommend people Dhalgren. There are a lot of things I absolutely love about that book, and it def is relatable today in terms of living in a collapsing society, but fuck that pedo shit (including a literal pedo 3-way partnership) fucking is so bad.
i think it's kind of made clear that the protagonist is not a particularly moral person, and that Bellona is not a moral city, but i can certainly see why it would be offputting to some
