The Evil Queen: A Pornolexicography (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781881471981)

Perez's use of language is achingly beautiful and, at the same time, disgustingly vile. His willingness to delve deeply into the heart of transgressive language would undoubtedly shock even Julia Kristeva. His raw examination of the truly abject is almost as disturbing as his ability to wrestle his reader's sensibility into some vague acceptance of the notion that this horrifying abjection is part of what makes us human: a troubling notion indeed. At times I had no idea what to think of this work. It is resolutely not for the faint of heart. Perez has an uncanny ability to cut through the polite, the acceptable, and the commonplace as he takes his reader on an expedition that leads unflinchingly to the outer edge of the darkest human desires. bookslut.com
