Marty asked an interesting question

On twitter Marty asked, "Speaking of sci fi, anyone here ever read Dhalgren?"

Is Marty dropping a book title as a reference for Destiny? Or is he just trying to understand what he read. haha.

-Hedge.

After perusing the Wikipedia article, I don't understand what I just read.

I could see some parallels with the "unknown catastrophe", as noted in the opening of the Wikipedia entry:

Bellona, a fictional city in the American Midwest cut off from the rest of the world by some unknown catastrophe. William Gibson has referred to Dhalgren as "A riddle that was never meant to be solved."

... I wonder if Bungie's intention will be to purposefully leave riddles unanswered for the fans of Destiny lore to ponder for the rest of time? I think I would be okay with that.
