The Airportline: Observations

The main character, Alan Blair, in Jonathan Ames (creator of the fabulous TV-series Bored To Death) novel 'Wake Up, Sir!' on sexuality:

'The human sex drive is relentless, especially the homosexuall human sex drive. One finds it everywhere, it knows no dark corners - or, for that matter, dimly lit corners - where it cannot trespass. But it's not just homosexuality that is prevalent: old-fashioned heterosexuality is still the most popular form of sensuality between two people. Drive past any school yard - somebody is producing these children, though I understand that enrollments have been dropping. Homosexuality is perhaps then making headway in terms of overall subscription, while of course self-abuse remains the most popular form of sensuality overall, though not between two people, unless the two people are self-abusing in each other's company, which is often a happy compromise in both the homosexual and heterosexual communities.'

On the back cover someone from the Portland Oregonian (had to google that to make sure it actually was a real paper, it is) claimd that Ames is a edgier David Sedaris. I would agree and say that generally, that is a good thing.
