Over the top, but I really liked it. It's about 2 best drug-abusing friends, Dolores and Serena, who get into trouble with drug dealers, then get sucked into a fantasy to make a crazy fetish film to pay everyone back. Even though the language is rough, the story itself if pretty funny and intense. It explores the whole world of fetish and femdom (female domination), but in a wacky way. It's a dark... read more

Took me a while to get into, but once I did I couldn't stop reading this wild book. The story is a real blast, about two outcasts, Dolores and Serena, who want no real part of the American dream. Drug abuse seems to cloud their brains, and they enter fetish photography, the find themselves as "filmmakers" trying to make a movie, which leads from one disaster to another.

PERMANENT OBSCURITY

Inspired by the underground sexploitation films of the 1960s, this bold updating of the "roughie" subgenre and lampoon of auteur filmmaking largely takes place in New York City's East Village (circa the Bush era), and it chronicles the rise and fall of a unique and intense relationship. Dolores and Serena, two chemically dependent, down-and-out artists set out to take control of their lives by making a fetish-noir/femdom movie. Of course, things don't exactly turn out as planned.

IS THIS S/EXPLOITATION NOVEL RIGHT FOR YOU?

"Funny, stylish, and always engrossing ... extraordinarily well-drawn and psychologically realistic. All in all, it's a vastly entertaining and also poignant work, and it made me very curious about and sympathetic to the worlds of BDSM and of drug-addled dreamers."
--Anna Biller, writer-director of the neo-sexploitation film, VIVA
