Sex & Death A Farce in 34 Notes Sebastian and his long-suffering wife attend a funeral like no other. Sebastian Field-Marshall thought this collection of notes would fit nicely into the Adventure genre. Personally, I believe there should be a new genre entitled Travesty. There are many diversions, tangents and deflections. As he admitted himself, this journal is the very definition of a moral hazard. Worse still, he addresses the reader directly. Yes, the fourth wall is breached on several occasions. He ignored my entreaties in this regard. Bugger off, whose story is this, I believe, was his response. My fondest wish, he remarked, has always been to guide the reader through the many perilous stations towards sex, death and French doors. I hope this volume, amounting to a mere 157 pages, displays his many great and not-so-great thoughts. Upon presenting him with the finished draft, he slurred - seek the light - before passing out. All the lights were off in his house, so perhaps that is all he meant. Chris Dreyfus
