The late and great (and much missed) artist and writer Bob Flanagan's great little book of 'fucks' is essential piece of work. It's moments like this that i wished he was still with us, and that the press Hanuman Books, was still around. Sigh.

Journal descriptions of mean and dirty fucks. Kind of like a shopping list. Exciting because it is so unexciting. Amazing design. Hanuman Books.

This isn't a review but an FYI that the publisher Asterism Books has republished this book with two very good new introductions. You can order it from their site which is what I did. It's been out of print for a long time as evidenced by the spare reviews on here compared to what's on the page for his Pain Journal book.

wydana, jak piękny mały modlitewnik w różowej okładce, książka zbierająca zapiski z dziennika Boba Flanagana o seksie z jego partnerką Sheree Rose. Piękna, perwersyjna, poruszająca i wzruszająca. Zawsze gdy czytam o tej dwójce przypomina mi się esej Sheree "In sickness and so called health" i uważam, że znajomość go nadaje pięknej głębi tej książce.
