Status Updates From Dhalgren

Wow am I really this close to the end? It'll still be a few weeks probably but progress!

I think the most disturbing part of this story remains the fact that the primary characters are often described as dirt-encrusted and almost never described as bathing. Like the single shoe thing, I'm sure it's symbolic, but I still get second-hand sensory upset

This has been such an enjoyable read so far. The dialogue and characters are electrically refreshing.

It's that 2/3 point of a book where I'm starting to lose interest.

I have never started a wildly divisive book with genuinely no idea what side I will end up on. Excited either way…

Phew
