Planica - trail through the valley

Dheeraj 5 books view quotes. Jul 28, A set of typographical corrections for the published novel has already been released.

The novel begins in Atlanta , Georgia , on July 6, , where we meet Eric Jeffers some six days before his seventeenth birthday. Eric is living with his adoptive father, Mike. The story follows Eric as he goes to live with his mother, Barbara, in the fictive " Runcible County" on the Georgia coast. There, living in the town of "Diamond Harbor", Eric learns that a black , gay philanthropist has established a utopian community for black gay men in a neighborhood called the Dump. Eric takes a job with the local garbage man, Dynamite, and his nineteen-year-old helper, Morgan.

The two boys become life partners, and the novel follows them—through job changes from garbage men, to managing a pornographic theater, to handymen , changes of friends, and changes of address from a cabin in the Dump, to an apartment over the movie theater, to another cabin out on Gilead, a nearby island —into the twilight of their years. Through the Valley of the Nest of Spiders can also be viewed as a companion piece to Dark Reflections , Delany's immediately previous novel.

But where Dark Reflections centers on themes of loneliness, sexual repression , fear, and the difficult life of the artist, Through the Valley of the Nest of Spiders, in sharp contrast, celebrates companionship, love, sexual openness, and freedom. Toward the end of Dark Reflections, we learn that in his youth, Arnold Hawley, the novel's protagonist, ran away in fear from a situation that would likely have changed the course of his life.

Bill, like Arnold, ran away from a situation that had the potential for great happiness. He concludes by asking Eric to promise that when he is presented with his own choice—and, Bill insists, that moment will come—to choose happiness, no matter how afraid he might be to take that path. The major themes of Through the Valley of the Nest of Spiders are love, relationships, and the consequences—both good and bad—of taking that chance and making the choice to go after what makes you happy.

Beginning relatively early in Eric's life while he is still seventeen in the story , he repeatedly expresses a desire to do good things for other people. This is a thematic element that spans the novel. There is also a very strong tie to Baruch Spinoza.

He is mentioned early in the novel, and in the latter half, Eric is given a copy of Ethica by a character named Mama Grace. Eventually, Eric reads Ethica several times. It shapes and reflects his actions and attitudes.
