Vaginal ballistics, if I may borrow a phrase of Donald O'Donovan's, would seem at first glance to be the theme of Tarantula Woman, O'Donovan's account of his youthful sojourn in the red-light quarter of Ciudad Juarez. Yet, saturated with sex though it is, this book could hardly be called pornographic, let alone erotic. O'Donovan's concern is rather with birth, or, to be more accurate, with rebirth. At the deepest level, Tarantula Woman is a depiction of a rite of passage. Bronislaw Majeski
