A really exotic, extremely decadent read-- like the Anne Rice Beauty books but pushed into even more baroque excesses.
Some of the time Ashe's descriptions, and the activities he imagines, are so imaginative it's practically impossible to visualize what's supposed to be happening, yet you get 'lost in the moment'. The prose is heavy, deeply sensuous; it's pure fantasy, but an intoxicating exercise.
