Monk's motto or: Is Against the Day in favour of the Night?

[Daniel Harper]

ATD and GR are clearly the most sexualized of P's works, with GR being far
and away the dirtiest. There's a lot going on there, not sure that the
"socialist ideal" is really the best way of describing it. I think a more
useful way to think of it is as simply the stated goal and end point of the
Sexual Revolution of the sixties... which unfortunately is still not quite
there yet. (Many of us youngsters are still working on it, though.)
