Sex And Violence by George Stade
Written in the form of letters written by Wynn O'Leary to his brother, Joel, who died of a heroin overdose, this is a witty and unabashedly politically incorrect novel. It takes place in an enclosed world with its own cutoms and denizens. The time is the late 1980s. Cultural theory and gender politics reign supreme, smoking is still allowed in the cafetria and, unfortunately for O'Leary, Viagra is but a twinkle in a scientist's eye.
"A novel that bristles with irony and wit" - New York Times "[Contains a] Nabokovian control of language." - The Washington Post"
