On a recent novel review in The Irish Times and an original poem
“There is a lot of excruciating sex in the book. The title Luster is a very obvious nod to the content. Lust and longing are constant motifs in the novel from awkward, sometimes violent encounters with her married lover to the casual and darkly funny sex of unfortunate workplace assignations.”
I am trying to have a novel published in the next few weeks. It is more a psychological thriller than erotic, but I believe eros is pervasive in life. To me, eros could almost be a substitute word for life.
As for extramarital affairs, I don’t condone them, but many great novels deal with the subject. One of my favorite novels, The End of the Affair, is about a bitter novelist having an affair with a married woman.
“Cry and Die” by yours truly
Cry then die:
“Balance of nature.”
Let brain fry.
Don’t ask why.
“Birds fly! Over the rainbow… ”
But always wear a tie.
Trust me guy:
I don’t lie.
