3.0 out of 5 stars Sex and Drugs and blow up dolls..., 1 Jul 2008
By Mr. P. Rigby "sharkgun" (wigan, england) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
So after reading '69 things...' by Stewart Home I've been checking some of the books referenced in that very referential story, out of curiosity and a perverse sense of closure from it's brain ravaging psychosexual romp. This was name checked fairly positively and so I came/come (ha ha ha) to it quickly. It's also quite short so I imagined I'd be able to polish it off fairly fast.

That wasn't the case and that was no bad thing.

A novel rejecting narrative in any linear/classical way it soon becomes a wash of words usually interesting enough to keep the attention span from wondering. Occasionally over intellectual for my taste but always challenging in a positive way, its will to be weird rarely satisfied. The idea of exploring the author in the way that it does (both Marks) is the only one that seems a little clichéd, though this is competently done. In addition, any love affair with a blow up doll is set to amuse and inspire creative sorts. I saw why there was some appeal to SH given '69 things...' relation to Ann Quinn's 'Berg' and perverse situations with ventriloquist dummies.

It reads like what it is, namely early 90s literature, which in my mind is no bad thing. A time when dance/drug culture seemed like the best new/old thing ever.

If po-mo streams of consciousness loosely tied together around a rag(doll)s to rich(blowupdoll)es tale is your bag then stroll on in.

This may be too much for those who want a more accessible tome though.
