Kind of thought that Ruthie would buy me something--or at least rent me out like the Kent and Suffolk women do...$500 an hour is a deal. And I will throw in my friend Ohio Big Jack for free.

But he's alive, usually. In US, Mayflower stock and white trash/criminal element are very close in DNA--you are right about that, too. Finally, Oliver is no lady killer. Homely guy--with family money, we think. He thinks Maggie Thatcher was a robo-babe. So Ruthie is a godess. Odd guy. True, I just dug Oliver up in Nantucket when I was there last year.

I know people with five times that at least. It’s not even as if this dude has a lot of books. I know people with five times that at least.

Anyone who thinks Ruthie is 'sultry' is flying with one engine on fire. Why on earth you employ him is beyond me - good lawyer or not. I imagine he has eyes that are a little to close together? A criminal type I'd guess. Possibly he's an imposter & the real Oliver Holden is lying dead in a shallow grave in New England? You vetted him - right? He may be right on this - but it's luck.

Bataille/Trocchi are about as much as I can stomach on the dirty books front. I'm sure to get flamed for reducing the great Bataille to a dirty book merchant. But hey ho.

Then again, as a reflexive hate figure I should approach him neutrally rather than pre-judge and I doubt if he is stupid. As for 120 Days of Sodom - a friendly librarian lent it to me after sneaking it out of a restricted section of our county library - I had no idea such a thing existed in Home Countyshire. My reaction was fascinated horror. Yes I did read it all. Above all was my surprise at how poorly crafted it was. I am no author but I really really believe I could do better. It was like the scribblings of a deranged teenager, which I could forgive; but the violence and torture wasn't even clever or imaginative. It was just unpleasant: snipping fingers off little children with pliers for sexual fun, dipping people in barrels of shit etc. etc. bleeergh.
