There are passages in Prick Queasy where the prose is so purple you might become embarrassed if you're reading it on the subway. I did. But still I poured through the book. The narrator in this novel seems to be conducting a three-ringed circus -- sometimes he's the voice of Hart Crane (the American modernist poet who killed himself in 1932), sometimes he's a diabolical murderer like a gay Patrick Bateman, sometimes he's writing a play; sometimes he's writing erotica; sometimes intense murder mystery. In the end he's writing all these things -- a crazy 300-page porno thriller. It's really like no other novel I've ever read in the best sense of the phrase.

Full Disclosure: Ron and I have been friends for 21 years since meeting in Sharon Olds' "The Craft of Poetry" class at NYU so of course I might be slightly biased. But still I highly recommend Prick Queasy. And click on this to buy it: www.publicationstudio.biz/books/244
