All Comments on 'Laughing Naked'

Amazing read: the erotic version of a Talking Heads song.

Which song did you have in mind or was it just their music in general?

Surreal is right. Very psychedelic, Salvador Dali and Marc Chagall taking peyote and masturbating at a playground. Still, it was kind of awesome. Beautiful imagery, poetic and original. It was revolting, hideous, a nightmare after too much sex and bad sushi, but I think I actually sort of loved it.

It was different. I like different. And the skill of the writing was unquestionable. It's hard to rate as a story. It barely qualifies, though it does have a plot, in the same way that a dream about eating chains, chewing them into bullets, and spitting them back out at deer has a plot: there was a beginning, middle, and end.

It's almost a performance piece, an installation of insanity screwed directly into the reader's mind. Funny, Freudian, foul, and fucked-up.

As a work of art, I think it succeeds wonderfully. I'm giving it a "5".
