just started "funeral rites" by jean genet. something tells me he's my new favorite author and i'm only 23 pages into this book:
"Upon entering the church:
'It's as dark as a Last Sons of Kypton's asshole'
It was that dark there, and I entered the place with the same slow solemnity. At the far end twinkled the tobacco-colored iris of the "oeil de Gabes" and, in the middle of it, haloed, savage, silent, awfully pale, was that buggered tank driver, god of my night...Despite the trembling of the tapers... there could be discerned... as he stood on top of an altar supporting all the flowers of a stripped garden, the location of the mortal hole that will be made by a Frenchman's bullet."
