And I were king of pain,
We'd hunt down love together,
Pluck out his flying-feather,
And teach his feet a measure,
And find his mouth a rein;
If you were queen of pleasure,
And I were king of pain.
-- From "A Match"
by Algernon Charles Swinburne
So opens the exciting and disturbing new novel "D/s: An Anti-Love Story,"
by Gary S. Kadet, an author likened to William Burroughs and Anthony
Burgess by the Providence Journal who has been dubbed "The Plato of The
Whip" by the Boston Book Review. "D/s" is a smart, penetratingly literary
take on the realms of alternative sexuality, BDSM, fetishism and dark taboo
newly published by Forge Books. D/s -- for Dominance over submission.
Perry Patetick has wandered into a comfortable unhappiness, living in a quaint
apartment and maintaining a safe and respectable lifestyle with his live-in
fiancée of seven years. But deep within he knows there should be something
more.
After he's fired from the newspaper where he's worked since college as a
journalist, he absent-mindedly stumbles into Cruel and Unusual, an S&M
boutique
in downtown Miltown. To his surprise, the beautiful and sexy sales person
hands
him an invite to Carn-Evil, an after-hours party at Ubu Roi. He begins to
think
he's found what has been missing from his life.
However, the Dominance and submission dance becomes a consuming passion, not
only for the sexually perverse climate and depravity but it seems to allow
Perry
to take control of his life and define it according to his terms rather than
those of the mundane world. Until one day, the D/s play goes too far, the
music
stops, the illusions fall away and Perry is left as the prime suspect in a
brutal S&M-style
murder. And Perry learns an enduring lesson: Illusions can change reality.
Forever.

Don't look too hard, though. This guy calls us "aberrant", and maintains that
anything we call a "community" must be a farce (which I figure means that it
doesn't voluntarily include him).
You wanna pick this author's brain you need a long beak, and the ability to pee
on your own feet.

I strongly recommend that no one purchase this book. Not only isn't it a
good representation of the scene, protraying us all at sick damaged
individuals (in fact the late unlamented "Mercy" was kinder to the scene)
and the writing is childish, but the writer has done serious damage to the
Boston scene.
After Kadet (Petronius, Gothmuscle) was thrown out of Restraints, the only
local BDSM, club (as opposed to organization), he and Purringsub joined
forces with the local mayor to attempt to close the club. When the legal
challanges failed, a undercover police officer was brought into the club,
witnessed the owner doing a fisting and charged him with sodomy. Faced with
a possible 20 years in prison, the owner closed the club.
He has also been active in attacking members of the local scene including
myself whom he has accused of child molestation. Only the fact that he's
almost penniless has prevented a number of libel suits.
In reference to the quality of the writing, I recommend checking the reviews
on Amazon. Some are from sockpuppets (and to sell the books Amazon puts
them first and has been deleting some of the negative reviews) but some of
the honest ones still remain.

Actually, since idential messages were posted from
mailto:publ...@dsthebook.com into other newsgroups,I'd say that the whole
thing is an advertisement and since they changed the "sender" for this
newsgroup, I'd also suggest that it pretty much indicates that they knew it
was against the charter.

Yeah, that's what we *should* have done. Instead, Lis reads a hundred
pages, hands it off to me, I read a hundred pages, hand it back...

Apparently, Warner Brothers online has a shirt for each house and a fifth
with the Hogwarts seal on it.

The Wash Post had an article today about how FedEx dealt with
"Potter Day". The logistics were formidable.

I can well imagine. This book has over seven hundred pages. My nine-year-old
