Yes, although he's wandered off into more pure S&M erotica, to the
point where one friend of mine into that literature is actually
disgusted and bored with his recent work.

Me, I'm just waiting for _The Splendor And Misery Of Bodies, Of
Cities_, which was promised to come out at least five years ago,
according to the jacket of the amazing _Stars In My Pockets Like
Grains Of Sand_.  Gotta suck to decide which threads of conspiracy and
wonder to resolve in the second half of the diptych.
