Ancient Evenings, Norman Mailer

Really Norman? An anal and incest fetishist's interpretation of the whole Osiris myth? Not only is that disrespectful to Egyptians, but obscene to people who care about mythology.

This ghastly choice of context only reiterates his own twisted psychology. Holly was right, dude has issues... many many issues. 

Gave it an extra star for the style.
