Take chapter fourteen—Please!—"V. In Love". Short version, a bunch of
fags cook up Le Sacre du Printemps and finish it off with with a real
human sacrifice, like an even gay-er version of "Wicker Man."
. . . An apocryphal story relates that he vowed at that moment
never to touch drugs, never to attend another Black Mass . . .
It's a wonder anyone takes the author seriously after all the
adolescent sniggering in this chapter. TRP makes a facile equation of
the breakdown of tonal centers and the breakdown of mores and morals
in its wake as La Jarretière is impaled during the ballet's musical
climax. Meanwile, the boss comes up with lines about "Mongolized
fairies."
Cyprian, in many ways, serves as a corrective.
