Kissing

those who have a knack for
stunt driving (or for the fool
hardy)
Eroticism has been Chris
tian’s passion since he awoke
to its possibilities. “I was bom
with a mouth,” he said. “I was
interested in kissing.”
Though the audience, too,
was interested, the performers
themselves were entranced.
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.”

‘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.

HOROSCOPES
ARIES Tension that’s been
building over your work could
finally break. Focus on serving
others, and you’ll win no
matter what. So will they.
TAURUS You can see a way
around a dilemma that has
everybody else stymied. Offer
advice, but not your hard
earned money.
GEMINI For every action,
there’s an equal and opposite
reaction. That’s what they tell
us, anyway. Don’t be so busy
reacting that you get
blindsided.
CANCER New information
helps you prevent an
unpleasant scenario. Avoid a
mess before it occurs, or at
least confine it.
LEO The rational approach
works better than the
emotional approach for the
next couple of days. Having
the facts will help you save
money.
VIRGO You’ll draw a lot of your
strength from your own inner
determination. They’ll like the
results better doing it your
way, so leave no doubt about
what your way is.
LIBRA There’s apt to be
confusion, but you can help.
Don’t let your own worries get
in the way. Make sure the
word gets out.
SCORPIO Friends want to help
but could actually make things
worse. Don’t promise anybody
a loan until you’re sure how
much you have.
SAGITTARIUS A critical
observer could be quite
annoying, but don’t make a
snappy remark. Just take the
advice and use it, and she’ll
think you’re really smart.
CAPRICORN There’s liable to
be some confusion, but you
can stay out of the way. Offer
words of wisdom, but wisely
wait until you’re asked for
them.
AQUARIUS Financial
paperwork may not be your
idea of a good time, but doing
it now is an excellent idea.
Take care of it before you go
shopping again.
PISCES Check on how things
are going so far. Are you still
within budget? Make
adjustments until you get
realigned.

Malin
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 5
would not expect a punk rock
er to perfect. 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.
