Did the protagonist in Delany's _Babel-17_ have a name? As I recall it, he
didn't even have the concept of "I".
_Babel-17- is a strong Favorite, even with its flaws. I couldn't remember
for certain, so I had to re-read it. Thanks for the question!
I would say the protagonist is actually the female lead, Rydra Wong.
Yeah, you're probably right in that. The guy about whom I was thinking

the right term for such a character?
