Title: Sex violence and broken glass
Product review: This is a really intruiging book. Its written in a detailed, deadpan style that is both emotionally cool and very stylish, and explores connections between sex, technology and death. At points it reads a little like a clinical dissertation on road trauma but is none the less absorbing because of it. The book also contains interesting information about the fatal road crashes of celebrities such as Dean, Mansfield and Camus. The story revolves around people for whom car crashes, and the psychological and physical immersion in them, provides increasingly intense sexual pleasure. I really enjoyed this book, and as an aside, felt that the movie by Cronenberg accurately conveyed the sense of chillingly kinky, sexually violent exploration articulated in the novel.
