false <![CDATA[Exquisite Corpse]]> 15320 12 You've probably heard that this love story about two cannibalistic serial killers (loosely modeled after Dennis Nilsen and Jeffrey Dahmer) is over the top. You've been warned about the lovingly meticulous descriptions of murder and necrophilia. But the novel also features a keen look at the AIDS plague, in a setting almost worth dying for: Brite's doomed aesthetes dance in a sweet, heady New Orleans of milky coffee and beignets, alligators, Billy Holiday tunes, scented candles, pirate radio, swamp French, andouille sausage and one bar for every 175 people. And the structure is the tightest of Brite's books so far. 17209 book 1996 Exquisite Corpse total:1094|5:314|4:308|3:296|2:111|1:65| 1094 3977 1433 118 2 4 false false Tue Apr 01 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Tue Apr 01 04:59:52 -0700 2008 Tue Apr 01 18:29:51 -0700 2008 more...]]> 1 2 false false Tue Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Tue Jan 29 15:22:33 -0800 2008 Tue Jan 29 15:27:06 -0800 2008 more...]]> 5 2 false false Wed May 21 17:54:24 -0700 2008 Wed May 21 17:55:22 -0700 2008 more...]]> 4 3 false false Fri Jun 22 12:42:23 -0700 2007 Fri Jun 22 12:42:23 -0700 2007 exquisite corpse for the first time in a mad 24-hour fever dream, while hopped up on vicodin and cold medicine; and maybe this is the best way to get through the book, in fact, in that this atmospheric yet disturbingly violent tale takes some getting used...more...]]> 4 1 false false Sun Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2006 Thu Nov 22 22:08:56 -0800 2007 Thu Nov 22 22:12:21 -0800 2007 more...]]> 5 0 false false Thu Dec 25 21:10:50 -0800 2008 Fri Dec 26 07:42:03 -0800 2008 more...]]> 1 1 false false Mon Jun 18 15:51:25 -0700 2007 Mon Jun 18 15:54:29 -0700 2007 more...]]> 5 0 false false Wed Apr 22 08:08:30 -0700 2009 Wed Apr 22 08:23:20 -0700 2009
