Summary

This is where the novel has a nervous breakdown. Anna Noon is a twenty-year-old student with a taste for perverse sex involving an enigmatic older man and a ventriloquist's dummy. Anna lives in Aberdeen, Scotland, and her sex life revolves around the ancient stone circles in the region. The sublime grandeur of the stones provides a backdrop against which Anna is able to act out her provocative psychodramas. This is a book about the body in which the carnal is a manifestation of consciousness: a book in which it is virtually impossible to distinguish the ancient from the postmodern. Drawing on literary and continental philosophy, as well as pulp appropriations, 69 Things suggests that schizophrenia may well be the only sane response to capitalism. "Home is hilarious, brilliant, annoying, and ... comes up with a new and original map for inventive readers." -- Lynne Tillman "Call it an anti-book, but what a strange and marvellous novel 69 Things to Do with a Dead Princess is." -- The Times (London) "He is the most interesting writer to come out of England for quite a while." -- Harper's
