Raving homosexual Aubrey Menen's queerly bizarre Fonthill.
Imagine if Walpole came back as a Calcutta queen and rewrote The Castle of Otranto as a gay Harlequin romance aimed at realizing an elderly's homosexual erotic fantasies.

The most recent book i've read is "Reader's Block" by David Markson.
i agree with American Book Review that it's "unputdownable".
With that recommendation I guess I'd better find myself a copy of Fonthill. The Castle of Otranto bred with Death in Venice and staged as a Bollywood musical - presumably without the music - sounds too good to miss.
Hehe.
Something like that.
