Beskrivning

Ventures into new, sometimes unprecedented, territory - from the luxe restraint of Merrymount through the stops-out eroticism of Pending and the distilled heebie-jeebies of Dream On. Here, reading, travel and sexual orientation (and disorientation) loom larger than before in Porter and the dialogue gives new play for what Harry Mathews has called Porter's golden ear'.'

“He takes types typically represented as American disasters and rehabilitates them through their own ability to articulate themselves. What’s more, Porter in this process sustains an effort to reclaim for all a considerable portion of our very own language that has steadily been bobbing out with the tide. Understanding perhaps the possibility that the narrower our lexicon, the more likely we are to be victimized by our own minds.”— James Tierney
