(1 review)

Written with a raging, lyrical fury, this is a devastating satire on a society fixated on image and celebrity - how innocence and individuality are routinely sacrificed for the totems of sex and wealth and glamour: a magnificent howl of anger and despair at a culture disintegrating into a brittle cult of fame.

I thought grits was much better. A bit too much flowery ranting in between snippets of hard core porn and a depressing view of modern life.
