> I was flat out offended by the book and repeatedly had to set it down and fume about how unnecessarily disgusting he was being.

Ok, but can you see any beauty in the fact that he wrote words that evoked such a response? How much do you read on a daily basis that evokes absolutely nothing and passes without memory? Read some of his other stuff if you didn’t like this particular novel.

No. I did not see any beauty in his graphic description of a mentally retarded hillbilly ejaculating onto the corpse of a young woman.

I was just offended.
