OTOH, I read and liked Dhalgren. I viewed it as an exploration of what happened when the usual constraints of civilization are removed. One character comments that in that situation, you become "...what you
are." In his case, it was homosexuality no longer repressed, with a leather fetish tossed in.
There are also strong suggestions that the protagonist isn't sane, and not a reliable witness.
