Isham Cook, an English teacher in China, has it all worked out. He
lives a highly ordered life of the mind and is not one to be swayed
by circumstance, until his dispassionate existence is tripped up by
Cookie, an elusive woman fleetingly glimpsed around his gritty
Beijing neighborhood. He then becomes captivated by the flamboyant
eroticism of a woman he meets on the subway, Luna, who radically
overhauls his most basic preconceptions. A third woman of ambiguous
Asiatic ethnicity, the beautiful Adalat, is as unknowable as the
others and he becomes obsessed with her as well. Finally, a fourth
character appears with the ultimate trump card, one capable of
pulling apart the very coordinates of Isham's reality, including
the narrative itself.
A hypnotic journey of a novel, with idea bombs going off along
the way, Lust & Philosophy is mind-rape as literature, a
fairytale on acid, and a holographic Rorschach test all in one, and
will appeal to fans of Hermann Hesse, Philip K. Dick, J. G. Ballard
and other novelists of the uncanny.
