The CenterDescription
The discussion today centers around “The Exquisite Corpse” by Alfred Chester. In fortynine 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, names and identities come and go, storylines and desires intertwine, all with the quick illogic of a dream. Voted #78 on the Publishing Triangle’s list of best lesbian and gay fiction books. http://www.howardwill.com/BookClub.htm.
