This review is from: The Swank Bisexual Wine Bar of Modernity (Paperback)
I am working my way through SD's first 3 releases - Seizure Wet Dreams, London Pub Reviews and this book - The Swank Bisexual Winebar of Modernity and I am HOOKED. As different from S.W.D.'s as you can imagine, this book has some of Richard Brautigans whimsy, a great big slab of absurdist surrealism, all mixed in with deadpan Mancunian humor. I tore through the whole thing in barely more than a day. The writing is razor sharp and witty, yet this is not just a comedic book: this is a seriously clever and original work of literature.
