7 1/2 by Christos TsiolkasMy rating: 1 of 5 stars
The book starts with quite long explanation what it will not be about.
On page 31 there is an important statement - "...the novel is masturbation".
From this point the author does just that...
He shares abundantly his excitement with smell of masculine sweat, with taste of secretions from female genitals, with taste of semen, feeling of dried sperm on underbelly, experience of chasing schoolboys in a public toilet. He promises to introduce us to world of pornographic movies and sex for money.
I reached page 75 - it means 10 times 7 1/2.
Ten times too many.
I put the book aside.
