Great review; thanks for touching on the important points, and thanks for being specific instead of impressionistic.

I’m torn: I love what you’ve described of the structure, but I’m worried about no holds barred gore and sex. Sometimes, boldly imagined disgusting details just make me feel sick.

After Naked Lunch, nothing can disgust me anymore, but if you are grossed out by gore and sexual violence this book may be too much. Thomas does not strike me as a man with tranquil dreams.
