Told partly through imaginary
conversations with Marcel Duchamp, Porno Diva Numero Uno is a semi-autobigraphical
and sexually explicit exploration of the relationship of art to existence,
written in the lost form of 'single transmission' which originated during
the transition between Greek dramatic lyric and lyric drama, and in the
transformations of the tragic chorus. Using little or no punctuation, this
unusual prose style causes the meanings of any given 'sentence' to overflow
into surrounding phrases and images creating new associations which magnify
the metaphorical power of language. The resulting work is lyrical, witty
and iconoclastic The protagonists weave a series of dream-like meditations
which soar and dip from the sublime and transcendental to the bathetic and
everyday.
