Summary: healthy perversions...or not
Comment: what john berger's "ways of seeeing" does for our perceptions of the high-art visuallandscape, ben weissman's "dear dead person" does for the idiosyncratic daily events of life. what might first be pawned off as perverse becomes familiar and real, even to the most plain and ordinary white collared man who happens to own a dog and enjoy cookies. a very pleasant read that has much more boiling beneath the surface than the "fun" element that pervades each short story.

Summary: My psychologist would have a field day...
Comment: This book is NOT for the faint of heart. Easily the most twisted, funny, sick tome I've ever had the perverse pleasure of reading. A gem! A friend of mine first picked it up and was reading it while we were traveling - he kept rolling his eyes, gasping, groaning and laughing. I had to find out what the hoopla was all about. If you enjoy dark black humor and having the boundries pushed, read this book. It is a collection of short stories, each seemingly in worst taste than the previous. Amazing, disgusting and hilarious. Murder, mayhem, incest, cruelty and severe psychosis are the staples of Dear Dead Person. Weissman is truly one sick puppy - he would have been jailed or lynched for writing this 50 years ago! Read this book (and then rent the movie "Man Bites Dog")...and don't tell your psychologist.
