  • I read one of his and thought it was awful.

    It was about a boy sleeping with his step father and a man making snuff films, I think.

    • yeah all his books are about shit like that

      • It was a few years ago when I read it

        but I remember thinking it was really empty of anything apart from attempts to shock the reader.

        • idk, i'm not sure exactly what book you're on about so i dunno if i've even read it. i can see why a surface reading of his stuff might seem like that but i think everything i've read by him uses that kinda stuff to tell really beautiful and intense stories about obsession, desire, the physicality of sex, metafictional commentary on identity, gay history etc etc

          • Having checked Google, I think it might have been Closer.

            It was just a load of horrible sex and teenagers taking tranquillisers.

            keith @fuckyeahdubstep | 30 Jul '14, 17:28 | X
  • Yeah totally love his stuff

    He's a real nice guy too. I just finished reading Try again. Bowled over by it.

  • I read Frisk years ago

    Leant it to someone where I worked at the time to have a read.
    Everyone stopped talking to me when the person told everyone about the book.

    • Frisk is so disturbing

      Read it in my 90s phase of reading shocking literature.

      drop_b @safebruv | 30 Jul '14, 17:30 | X
      • i found Frisk really beautiful as well, for the same reasons as outlined above basically

        ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

      • Doing well posting on the internet at that age

        Godspeed, silver surfer!!

        safebruv @drop_b | 31 Jul '14, 10:11 | X
      • Me too.

        Didn't think there was much to it beyond the blood and guts, but some of the passages have stuck with me even now so can't have been a complete write-off

        Lucien @drop_b | 31 Jul '14, 10:15 | X
  • genuinely thought this was a thread about the Goodness Gracious Me character

    mug_mug_mug | 30 Jul '14, 18:43 | X
