Book Reviews of Razor Wire Pubic HairBook Review: Even the used and manufactured can have an opinion Summary: 5 Stars
Mellick you beautiful genius you freakish omnipotent wonderlug you. What/s in pubic hair is more than woman made items to sustain create and avoid. Mellick has taken the premise of experimental writing and stream of consciousness writing to a level nearly on par with h selby jnr and then added the spice of the old cliche of what if...
what if there were no men on earth? what if there was no other way to add to the human existence? and hence you the reader have the 'toy.' by writing this novel through the eyes of the toy with no name the reader can superimpose himself into the world with no males.
it/s assumed that the world is without men because of the nouns and verbs used but it could as well be a world without any of those items one has come to rely on: x without y cannot equal z, and as such those double negatives cannot come to equal a positive. water cannot be created without two equal parts hydrogen to each part oxygen; strychnine cannot be used to assassinate rats without rats to assassinate; lincoln could not have been shot in the theatre had he not been in the theatre, had the shooter not had the revolver, had the bullets not been present in the chamber, had the theatre not been darkened enough to hide the shooter; ad infinitum.
mellick/s use of short paragraphs and a lack of completed details leaves nothing for the reader to lose. without the capability of imagination the reader would not envision the house with it/s storeys to ramble with the toy as the toy takes it/s revenge for the loss of it/s master. had mellick added anything further to pubic hair whether it be detail or description, name or place, person or color the reader would have the loss of ability to adapt this telling to usefulness.
as with all stories there may or may not be a moral or a purpose or a reason for pubic hair. it could be something as simple as reminding all who read it that unprotected sex will, in the end, kill all. perhaps it's mellick/s way of telling all of us women that although we think we can survive without men the end result could turn monstrous and disastrous. perhaps still it/s a gentle reminder that the creation of autonomous beings is outside of our realm of ability: it seemed as though the toy, though named, was still forgotten to think consciously until it was convenient or otherwise able to be harmful to the toy...reality is truly subjective even i think to the writer.
although the graphic detail may not be to the taste of all readers, and a development in genre such as this also may not be to the tast of all readers, the pure ability to delve into the experimental in a scope such as this sends not only experimental writing but also stream of consciousness writing to a level which can do no more than assist it to come to the forefront in literature today.
