So um, who's read The Dispossessed and wants to geek out about it lit nerd style? Extra bonus points if you find a copy of Samuel R. Delany's Jewel-Hinged Jaw and read his essay about The Dispossessed first. Right now I'm at the stage where I'm taking notes on the novel and getting myself psyched up to read the essay before it tells me I'm all wrong and a grotesquely ugly freak, so you've got time to get your reading on and catch up with me, especially if you've already read The Dispossessed, which I hadn't until earlier this month because I'm defective or something.

Heh. I have an autographed copy of Ted the Cow by Dan Bern, but everything else I've ever gotten signed is nonfiction, because I am a scholar groupie: bell hooks' Feminism is for Everybody, George Lakoff's Women, Fire, and Dangerous Things, and Stephen Pinker's Words and Rules.

Like I mentioned before, I'm in the digesting and taking notes phase of rereading The Dispossessed, and I'm a little afraid Delany's analysis is going to take mine to pieces. But I'm still looking forward to reading it.
