In this ribald, titillating, exciting book, Marco Vassi exposes the human animal in all its absurdity. He spares no one and nothing in his ironic X-ray of our exalted obsessions. Capturing the sizzling vitality of our current erotic upheaval while grasping its peculiar pretensions, Vassi creates a gallery of unforgettable characters who are only ourselves in a form larger than life. In these nineteen stories, Vassi turns erotic literature inside out, unraveling the seams of our most secret fantasies. The Erotic Comedies offers a mere taste of what awaits readers in his full-length novels.
Marco Vassi, who died of AIDS in 1989, was/is the most important sexual philosopher of the last 25 years. The Eroic Comedies -- a newly edited version of his previously released "Metasex Manifesto" -- is a collection of short stories and essays unlike you've ever read. (Unfortunately, a short story called "Pray On Me" from the original was not inlcuded, no doubt because it was so politically incorrect it would have certainly been denounced by the Vatican.) Nonetheless, a story entitled "The Organic Copraphiliac" remains. It is an erotic classic that 25 years later still leaves readers speechless or convulsed in laughter. There are also essays expanding on his philosophy of "meta-sexuality" (not straight, not gay, not bi) and argues for a better understanding of the human spirit and human sexuality, overall. Vasi's coolest book.
