The Dangerous Joy of Dr. Sex and Other True Stories
of Pagan Kennedy (Goodreads Author)
Description
Nonfiction is the new black comedy in this hilarious collection of award-winning literary essays written by the infamous Pagan Kennedy. In the title piece, Alex Comfort, author of The Joy of Sex, reinvents himself as a sex guru in California and hatches a plan to destroy monogamy forever. In the stories that follow, a retired chemist finds a way to turn a wasteland into paradise, an aspiring tyrant tries to become the emperor of America, and an artist rigs himself up to a "brain machine" made from parts he bought at Radio Shack. All of the essaysâmost of which have appeared in The New York Times Magazine and The Boston Globe Magazineâdocument the stories of visionaries bent on remaking the world, for better or for worse.
