A collection of short texts with little or no connections. Like fragments. You can see the themes I saw in the film version of his book, Painted Birds - sadistic violence, violent sex, anger and resentment, revenge. He writes well but the whole things seems like voyeurism or thrill seeking by the comfortable and well-off. Jean Genet, on the other hand, is the real thing (though his popularity is this same kind of voyeurism on the part of his readers).
