It can be taxing, but the mental gymnastics during reading are usually rewarding.
There's a three page paragraph about a stripper who is speaking at an AA meeting and recalls the trauma of having to clean the post-incestuous mess by her stepfather and his own mentally handicapped and paralyzed daughter. He would place a Raquel Welch mask on her during diddling. One night the aspiring stripper removed the mask with the light on and sees that 'It's (the paralyzed girl's) face of utter catatonia and paralysis prevented the contraction of Its luridly rouged face's circumoral muscles into any conventional human facial-type expression, nevertheless some hideously mobile and expressive layer in the most regions below real people's expressive facial layer, some slow-twitch layer unique to It, had blindly contracted, somehow, to gather the blank soft cheese of Its face into the sort of pinched gasping look of neurologic concentration that marks a carnal bliss beyond smiles and sighs.

Sounds like pap to me. I think you'd like the book I'm reading, though. |
