On reading: Lust Is a Woman by Charles Willeford

A wealthy powerful enigmatic man traffics in women. A beautiful and buxom young woman is tempted by the payday of selling her body. A naive young man falls for her and falls all the way into it.

The Endless Rose by Carlos Maleno
"Part Möbius strip, part Roberto Bolaño at his most compelling. I'm still trying to process this dark little novel and the Jekyll-Hyde/Hyde-Jekyll publishing partners who nonchalantly take on a manuscript for publication by an equally mysterious and i" Read more of this review »
The Endless Rose by Carlos Maleno
"I don't care about odious fuckers who own a publishing house. It's advertised as a blend of Bolaño, Houellebecq, and Cartarescu when it's really a shitty ripoff-love letter lovechild of them and Borges. It says nothing and isn't interesting. It's so " Read more of this review »

Atomised by Michel Houellebecq
"Half brothers Bruno and Michel have nothing in common except a mother. Michel is a molecular biologist and seems totally inept at forming human relationships and Bruno is sex obsessed.

Woody Allen
“This is my perspective and has always been my perspective on life: I have a very grim, pessimistic view of it. I always have, since I was a little boy. It hasn’t gotten worse with age or anything. I do feel that it’s a grim, painful, nightmarish, meaningless experience, and that the only way that you can be happy is if you tell yourself some lies and deceive yourself.”
