Críticas
Known primarily for his avant-garde music, Momus (aka Nick Currie) proves that he is no slouch as fiction writer either, easily translating his iconoclastic vision to prose. The novel is a phantasmagorical ride through dirty jokes that, in Momus s twisted alternate reality, dictate the lives of a very unfortunate family. The humor is dark and absurd and genuinely funny (though not for everyone), and the style is reminiscent of Naked Lunch, with puns and coarse jokes instead of caterpillars and otherworldly creatures. This strong and short novel, despite its uncompromising structure and style, is delightfully crude and never ever dull.
Momus' book is funny sometimes laugh-out loud, sometimes wincingly and the humor is delivered in Joycean puns, dry British parody and spoof...
The book is gleefully postmodern, and only a novel in the most technical sense: it's meta-jest, a long joke about jokes, and it is, by turns, funny and horrifying. --Michael Schaub
Reseña del editor
Details a series of sordid and ridiculous episodes in the life of a family under the influence of an eccentric and sexually rapacious father, in a first novel by the cult songwriter that traces the youth of a boy who witnesses their collective descent into hopeless dysfunction. Original.
