Fun read.
Rumor has it that one of the passages inspired the name of rock band "Steely Dan." And yes...the passage was about a dildo.
Movie version was a let down.

It's quite the trip to read, which of course was the point.

Curious place to visit, I sure as hell wouldn't want to live there.

I hated it. It was like throwing up and then eating it again.
I think his work is a rude gesture to the world. I respect his work, I think it has a place in the world, I admire his strength of self, but I hate the work. It's repugnant and gratuitous.
