The Saline Solution [Paperback]

Marco Vassi (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: October 1997

Marco Vassi was possibly the greatest erotic writer of his generation. His first publisher at Olympia Press, Maurice Girodias, compares his talent for prose to Henry Miller's writing. His sexual explorations and literary talent are the foundations of nine novels written between 1970 and 1976. Although his life was cut short, his memory lives on with the release of The Vassi Collection. The collection includes nine fiction titles and his autobiographical memoir, THE STONED APOCALYPSE, which follows his sexual liberation while on a trip he took in the sixties. Join Vassi in his exploration of the human sexual and spiritual experience. In THE SALINE SOLUTION a young man surrenders himself to sexual exploration as a means of looking deeply into his own existence and into the philosophical void at the center of Western civilization.

I read the one published in '71, I think it was a very interesting book to read. Its a story about exploring drugs and sexuality (straight/gay). I would recomend this book to an open mind

OK the cover says that the author has established himself as an intrepid explorer of an uncharted sexual landscape ......

I'd say

Matter of fact it's uncharted cause no one wants to go there. It's a very disjointed story with seeming witty and trite expressions interspersed throughout the book .... obviously not my style of book or erotica ....
