On the one hand a novelistic treatment of the fallout associated with a sex saturated society could have the salutory effect of causing deeper reflection about what the degredation of sex has done to both men and women. That having been said I'm hesitant to pay the price of wallowing in the graphic scenes created by Wolfe as a prerequisite to participating in the conversation. By the way, I much appreciate your comments in the Russell Kirk discussion group.
