Lockpick Pornography

Lockipick Pornography is a book by Joey Comeau, one of my heroes. I bought the book online for $10 and waited an anxious month and a half for it to arrive in the mail. When I got it I was so excited that I ran around my neighborhood clutching it, grinning like a schoolboy. I wanted to scream at everyone I met to buy and read the book or I would kill them. Slit their neck with a razor.

I would hold the book out in plain sight, so people could see the cover. LOCKPICK PORNOGRAPHY! OMG!

The book is about angry gay people who get up and get revenge on heterosexual people. It was hilarious and weird and sick and twisted. Lots of gay sex and about as transgressive as any Palahniuk novel. The message behind the mess was that gender is constructed, you're not born with it. Or maybe it wasn't. Whatever.

I don't really agree, but I still enjoyed the hell out of the book.

It was short. A mere ten chapters. I read it fast. Some parts didn't transition very well, others were hard to believe. Palahniuk says the best way to make an unbelievable story credible is to present it in a non-fiction form. This is why something as bizarre as Rant worked for him. For Joey's Lockpick Porn, maybe it didn't. But I still loved the hell out of the book. It was like reading a book that a friend writes, and yeah, parts of it suck, but mostly you love their book because you love who wrote it.

That seems to be all I feel lately, that second degree love for art. But I don't care.

Go buy his book.
