We’re all exhibitionists, Christian said, and quoted a poll that showed that 80 percent of couples like to kiss in public. “It’s kinda kinky,” Serpas said. “I’d definitely do it again.” Comments on this story? E-mail gamecockmixeditor @hotmail.com ‘Suicide’ CONTINUED FROM PAGE 5 Central Park, gave her room and board, found her a new boyfriend and baby-sat her diaper-clad daughter, Kate. Like Nersesian’s plays, poet ry and other novels, “Suicide Casanova” delves into the sludge and muck of New York’s underground. Yet, Nersesian’s characters embody a full range of emotion and state of mind, from love and tenderness to dis gust and hatred, logic and sen sibility to complete loss of con trol. “Suicide Casanova” is an abrupt departure from the mid weight philosophical undertones of Nersesian’s first three novels. Unlike Mary Bellonova in “Dog Run,” pr the anonymous couch potato in “The F***-up,” Caldwell’s struggle is truly trag c. This is the first story in which lis characters start out crazy and snd up yet more depraved, or lead. Nersesian’s puns and wordplay nake for needed comic relief. While some sex scenes are intense, some will make you laugh aloud. \nd the absurdity itself in half the scenes will make you crack a smile iespite the lurking gloom. Only the cover itself could dis ippoint Nersesian fans. While binding an erotic novel in a video rase seems like a good idea, it nakes for a physically difficult read. If sadism is what Nersesian md Akashic Books had in mind, hen they succeed here. To avoid scratching and bruising your lands, you might want to slice out the guts and read it naked. It’s sasy enough with a hobby knife.

He makes the rough-edged and ordinary sound disturbingly beautiful, infusing tangible atmospheres with ache. “Once I bled into a letter,” Malin begins on “High Lonesome,” and concludes that “a brilliant masquerade can’t disguise a broken heart.” On “Brooklyn,” he confesses, “I sometimes lie awake until sunrise/ wondering how we become what we despise.” Painting palpable portraits of faces “riding on the sub way” and a mother who “used to like Frank Sinatra, cigarettes and JFK,” Jesse Malin’s debut album screams self-destruction with a unique elegance. He is not only a punk rock er, but also a poet who can sculpt a superb song. Thanks to his fortunate choice of friends, his “The Fine Art of Self-Destruction” has been put on exhibit for audiences na tionwide. Comments on this story? E-mail gamecockmixeditor @hotmail.com
