i learned that as an immigrant from a foreign land, if i ever commit a specific intent crime, i can raise a cultural defense to negate the requisite mens rea.
This was a quick read that I really didn't want to put down, which is a plus. Double-plus, after I finished I didn't feel cheated like I often do by books I don't want to put down. The writing is what I like most about this book. The visual and emotional landscapes just bleed into one another for such a beautifully sensual, but sandpaper-like experience. There is really not much of a plot, but I didn't mind. I did wonder what the author's husband and kids were doing while she was gallivanting across Africa and I wonder what her husband thinks of the book, but those thoughts are kind of besides the point. Someone I talked to about the book thought the author was having an affair (whatever exactly that word means). I don't know. What do you think?
Another look into the depraved fantasies of Richard Laymon. It's easy to understand why purists or puritans don't like it, his style leaves something to be desired and some of the content is a bit near the knuckle... to say the least. In keeping with some of his other works, the protaganist rambles on to himself needlesly and makes a lot of stupid decisions, but perhaps Laymon was just reminding the reader he was a silly boy (not Laymon, the protaganist lol). Certainly not for everyone, but joyful and effortless reading for those who take novels for what they are and are glad of it.
A very good book...I love it although in Romania I have not seen good books in a while...what i can say is congrats to the author and we are waiting more from him
The dark underbelly of environmentalism. This book made me question the pride I have felt in the history of the environmental movement. One of the best translations of academic work into book form. It's highly readable, well done, and an excellent addition to the "peoples history" canon.
