I haven't read much of his but I've liked it all pretty much. My writing was very influenced by his at one time, and still is, to a certain extent. He's brutally frank about sex, lust, desire and the futility of existence, but with a poetic, sensitive heart. Tender misogyny. <br/><br/><a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/list/277259?utm_medium=api&utm_source=blog_review">View all my reviews.</a>
