Sexual politics, gender politics, even military politics all play a role. Politics runs through Triton like its lifeblood. I know I say this a lot-you can call it a recurring theme of my reviews, if you like-but it’s true in this case. If you allow me to get reader-response on you for a moment, Triton is a book that will affect you differently depending on your generation. The cover alone makes me feel much more connected to the zeitgeist in which Delany was immersed when he wrote this, and that’s crucial to an understanding of this book. I love the edition I have, another Bantam 1976 yellowing reprint, similar to my edition of Dhalgren, that I picked up at a used bookstore for $1.05. So please forgive me if the details in this review are sparser than ordinary there is a very good reason why I write reviews as soon as possible after finishing a book!įortunately, Triton is a very memorable book, which one might have expected coming from Samuel R. It’s been almost five weeks since I did this, so let’s hope my skills haven’t atrophied too much! My student teaching practicum was awesome, but it left me little time for reading and no time for reviewing.
