Dhalgren, by Samuel R. Delaney was so damn good. I've been looking for sci-fi like it for ever now, any advice?

Delaney's weird, dystopic urbanism coupled with the texture and feel of the novel made me fall in love with Dhalgren. The novels depth and philosophical disposition made rereading it a joy.
Are there other Sci-fi authors out there with the same moves?

    For depth, complication, and all-around trickiness, the best SF has to offer is Gene Wolfe's Book of the New Sun. It was originally published in four volumes and is now available as a two-book set. Ursula Le Guin called him the genre's Melville, if that carries any weight.
