O knihe

Sex & Death A Farce in 34 Notes Sebastian and his long-suffering wife attend a funeral like no other. Sebastian Field-Marshall thought this collection of notes would fit nicely into the Adventure genre. Personally, I believe there should be a new genre entitled Travesty. There are many diversions, tangents and deflections within. As he admitted himself, this journal is the very definition of a moral hazard. Worse still, a cardinal sin, apparently - he addresses the reader directly. Yes, the fourth wall is breached on several occasions. He ignored my entreaties in this regard. Bugger off, whose story is this, I believe was his response. His fondest wish, he remarked, has always been to guide the reader through the many perilous stations towards sex, death and French doors. To be perfectly clear, I nurture a suspicion Sebastian is somewhat of an unreliable narrator, but as that dear old chap, Pontius Pilate, was alleged to have said to some bloke in a loincloth - What is truth? The roman governor was quite the existentialist if you ask me, but that is another story. Sebastian revealed much and I hope I've collated sufficient of his copious, scrappy, notes to display his many great and not-so-great thoughts. Upon presenting him with the finished draft and accompanied by a bottle of Glenfiddich, he slurred - seek the light - before passing out. All the lights were off in his house, so perhaps that's all he meant. Chris Dreyfus
