Descrizione dell’articolo da parte del venditore

Bright, clean & tight copy, unread, in NEW condition. "Lyric and tender one moment, cruel and dizzying the next, THE EXQUISITE CORPSE neither celebrates perversity nor laments it; rather it projects it as part of man's impossible quest for a true self and for transcendent communion with others. In forty-nine brief, highly cinematic chapters, we meet a series of twisted but sincere searchers--Tomtom Jim and his naked, hungry family; Mary Poorpoor and her utterly 'otherly' baby; angry John Doe and his sex slave, James Madison--each in flight from despair. As one surreal episode morphs into the next, these searchers change shape and their journeys change direction; names and identities come and go, storylines collide, and desires intertwine, all with the lightning-quick illogic of a dream. The result is a tragicomic tour de force, and upside-down roadmap to everyone's inner Sodom, a perversely moral masterpiece by a modern-day Marquis de Sade. [publisher copy] "Chester is a glorious writer, tough as nails."--Gore Vidal. "THE EXQUISITE CORPSE is a game of 'let's pretend' with God and sex, birth and death, parents and lovers as its stakes, a game that broadens and burgeons till it opens out in every direction, an imaginary toad with an infinity of real gardens in it."--The Village Voice. "Chester is out to shock, to dazzle, to shake up, to offend, but at the same time he is seriously striving to record the implications of obsession, to document the tyranny and anguish of compulsive fantasy. . . Like Henry Miller and William S. Burroughs, he is a born writer with a zestful imagination and a poet's gift for provocative images."--The New York Times Book Review. Pristine paperback w/sharp corners & crisp edges, a square & tight binding w/no creases in spine. Quite presentable.
