My suggestion is Nova -- it's the most coherent and accessible of his science fiction, without losing any of the intelligence. Linguistics geeks are also directed to Babel-17. If you've ever thought "Gosh, I wish Finnegan's Wake had been written in plain English with the psychosexual stuff as text instead of subtext," then Dhalgren's for you.
(Using "subtext" advisedly, as Joyce's tale is so weighted under the language that the basic plot is arguably a subtext.)
