Love Ain't Nothing but Sex Misspelled (e-book) (used book) | bookbook.eu

Description

Love has 10,000 names, a million faces. America's most destructive contribution to 20th century living has been that damaged product plastic romance. It twists & savages us. After a lifetime of lies about what love's supposed to be, are you finally angry & depressed enough to be part of a recall on that shabby, mildewed merchandise? If so, join Ellison as he dissects the soul & body of love in our time. In 16 scalpel-sharp stories ranging from legalized Nevada whorehouses to steaming Georgian lynch towns, from Tijuana abortion mills to Hollywood sound stages, the one whom Oui magazine charmingly named "the perpetually angry young punk of the bizarre" rips the Saran-Wrap off love, hate, sin & twittering passion--to disclose the raw meat beneath. Here are 16 poisoned arrows from fantasy's improbable Cupid in which he presents a world of hearts & flowers guaranteed to revise thinking about where love's found & how it looks.
