Title: The Sex Offender: A Novel by Matthew Stadler ISBN: 0-8021-3695-8 Publisher: Grove Press Pub. Date: June, 2000 Format: Paperback Volumes: 1 List Price(USD): $12.00 |

Summary: Disappointing.
Comment: I read this book after having read the same author's "Allan Stein". Where that book was lyrical and had a real sense of loss, this book is just a shambles. It pieces together bits of other dystopian works like "1984" and Terry Gilliam's film "Brazil" but is nowhere near as clever or as interesting as either one of those books. To be honest, I was so disappointed in this book that I literally threw it in the trash the minute I finished it.
I give it two stars because Stadler is, it must be admitted, a gifted writer. It's just a shame that he squandered his prose on this half-baked premise.

Summary: Dazed and Confused
Comment: The Sex Offender by Matthew Stadler is a reading nightmare. When you think it's coming together and starting to make sense, everything goes astray. It peaks the imagination, but ultimately leaves you, like it's hero, overexcited and unable to perform. The writing is someimes beautiful and sometimes indulgent. It would be nice to be inside Matthew Stadler's brilliant mind and travel with him on this convoluted trip.
Rating: 5
Summary: A Glamorous Surreal Masterpiece
Comment: Stadler's novel is a romantic and surreal pedophilian nightmare. (un)dressing Lolita in boys clothes and puting Drag Queens at 1984 command. He mix humour, homo erotism and cruelty with perfection. One of my best readings, ever!
