These stories about sex, death and dancing are rich with references both literary and musical: from an updated version of The Story of ?O?, or Alexander Trocchi in a female ward in the asylum, to Elvis reincarnated in a South Africa of multinational fast food outlets. Reflecting ironically on the heady days of optimism and innocence of the 1960s, the tough, energetic, apocalyptic stories gathered here look the end of the century in the eye - and smile.
