Description

Pornographic Fruitcake Love Story is a comedy based upon a simple, time-tried, rather universal theme - the absurdity of a lover's efforts to please the beloved. A work of light humor, it consists mainly of a writer's bumbling efforts to produce a money making "filthy story" in order to impress a woman who claims to have no faith in men. The story enjoys the liberty of a highly malleable structure, which remains integral throughout the book despite apparent convolutions. The language, plain and unadorned, is consistent with the atmosphere of this distinctly satirical farce and with the character of the aspiring author, who appears in occasional 'Personal Interludes' between some of the chapters. This character is not really autobiographical, though he pretends to be, and this is not the story of my life. Pornographic Fruitcake is very much itself and is aimed at laughter, not at making a fine impression upon the academic mind.
