Summary: another masterpiece by SRD
Comment: In reading all the customer reviews of Trouble On Triton, both negative and positive, what I found most lacking was any mention of humor. This book is a wonderful, and yes, hilarious, satire of hetero-centricism (if there is such a word). It is a must read for anyone interested in any of the following topics: art and criticism, sex and gender, science fiction. Delany is very good at facing us with our own closed minds. He stands out as one of the most talented writers in English today.

Summary: My first intro to Delany - loved it, and will re-read.
Comment: It seems with Delany that you either understand him, and he becomes your favorite author, or you completely don't get it and are repulsed by all of his works. This was the first book I read by Delany -- since them I've read Dhalgren (what an awesome book) and the Neveryona series, and a bunch of his earlier works. The setting, Triton, was both believable and extremely surreal. The main character, though somewhat shallow... is absolutely fascinating and fascinatingly dense. This book is full of political, social, sexual and scientific commentary (as with all his later works)... I don't know what it was about it, but I personally couldn't put it down and stayed up all night reading it, and can't wait to re-read it. This is a beautiful and fascinating work, but not for everyone.

Summary: Great novel!
Comment: This is a hell of a good book. Reading it a second time through, I was most impressed by Delaney's subtle irony--Triton is an itnensely comic novel. But it's also a profound interrogation of gender. Delaney's important, and Triton is a great read.
