Lots of interesting short essays/articles on modern and not so modern culture.

One of the most compulsively readable books, I have ever read. From the first paragraph, I was hoped. On the face of it, the protagonist, Sugar, a victorian prostitute, would not seem the most attractive subject for a long book. However, I defy anyone not to be dragged in to the world that is so skilfully described. I was a little heartbroken when the story came abruptly to an end, even after more than 800 pages. If I introduce even one more person to this wonderful book, then that will be a job. Well done. I cannot praise this author highly enough, although I have yet to read another of his books that was as utterly brilliant as this one. I work of some genius in my judgement.
