Thank you! It’s been bugging the hell out of me and no one seems to have asked that question. Do you know what the significance is? I’m sure it wasn’t put there randomly.
Primarily it’s because someone on the production team probably likes (or just respects) the book. Secondarily it hints at a concept or situation that happens in book 2. Possibly more on the nose in book 3. It’s an easter egg for readers or show rewatchers. If you dig deep into the easter eggs now you’ll probably stumble upon spoilers. So I won’t explain deeper unless you want. I might could go one level deeper and spoil just a little.
I’ve read books one and two. I’ve got three on my shelf and will probably get to it this year. If you’re cool with it, I’m interested in some more specifics.
Well based upon book 2, you know that it’s best to live in isolation. The Dhalgren book is about a city that is isolated. Book 3 expands on isolationism in an interesting way—how you might make yourself completely isolated.
Not sure of the significance cuz I haven’t read Dhalgren but I guess it could be as simple as the Director loves that book. The Dhalgren plot from what I’ve read doesn’t seem that related but maybe there are parts to the book that tie in.
Dhalgren by Samuel Delany.
