Strange Book.

Revolting prose, rediculous subject matter, annoying as hell--THE BEST BOOK I HAVE READ IN YEARS! Or the worst.

sex and violence for beginners

Hilarious mix of art world satire and plagiarism of antique English porn and street punk fiction. Home realises that the leading characteristic of pulp fiction is repetition, and he just perfects the method, with highly amusing results. The book is populated with fictional versions of some of Home's own 'real-world' avant garde provocations, although with Home one is never sure what is original and what is a copy; what is 'real' and what is fiction.
