69 Things To Do With A Dead Princess by Stewart Home
This is where the novel has a nervous breakdown.Anna Noon is a twenty-year-old student with a taste for perverse sex involving an enigmatic older man and a ventriloquist's dummy. Anna lives in Aberdeen, and her sex life revolves around the ancient stone circles in this region. The sublime grandeur of the stones provides a backdrop against which Anna is able to act out her provocative psychodramas.This is a book about the body in which the carnal is a manifestation of consciousness: a book in which it is virtually impossible to distinguish the ancient from the post-modern. Drawing on literary modern and recent continental philosophy, as well as pulp appropriations, 69 Things to Do with a Dead Princess suggests that schizophrenia may well be the only sane response to capitalism.
Stewart Home was born in south London in 1962. When he was sixteen he held down a factory job for six months, an experience that led him to vow he'd never work again. After dabbling in rock journalism and music, in the 80s Home switched his attention to the art world, and now writes novels as well as cultural commentary.
