...and some really bad writing

[anotheranon]

Eurgh. Scooter Libby* wrote erotica. And it's crap, truly crap. I'm not going to pick apart every comma and apostrophe (Susie Bright did a better job of that than I ever could have) but even his note to Judith Miller is purple - violently purple, or magenta, or something else like that.

What's even more disturbing is his choice of subject matter - beastiality and incest (I think I can safely ask for a collective "eww"!). Read excerpts at your own risk.

* For non-Americans - Scooter Libby was the Vice Presidential aide who just got indicted for perjury, among other things. I have no idea how he got the name "Scooter".

One of my favorites is David Brin's "Glory Season". It's a female dominant culture, as a result of genetic tweaks which result in an absolutely fascinating culture--parthenogenesis and sexual reproduction side by side. Definitely worth a looksee.

"Ammonite" by Nicola Griffith is equally good.
