This review is from: Jack in the Box (Paperback)

This is raw language at it's most digusting and graphic of a teenager struggling with his sexuality and that of others. Very strange to say the least. The stories, told in episodic manner, reflect the darkness of the American writer as of the last thirty years, without any of the elequonce of the greater ones. It's quite a horror show but one that must be read. Not for the kiddies or the faint of heart!
