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.

I'm curious: what makes The Jewel-Hinged Jaw so awesome? (I'm wondering if I should try to acquire a copy of this book in some nearer-term fashion.)

I, alas, have not read The Dispossessed. I assume it is also awesome for some reason that I am not aware?

I would _love_ to talk about The Dispossessed, it being my second-favorite LeGuin book and all, which is saying something. (I've even got an autographed copy--the only author I've ever cared to get an autograph from). I'd like to try the Delany, but I'm kind of swamped at the moment with my qualifier in January...
