The books presented in the current Olympia imprint vary considerably in standard, and even though the publisher's courage must be generally applauded for their choice, particularly in certain details of the books' subject matter, some caveats are necessary when individual standards become marginal. This book is an example. Essentially, the worldly unwise Linda visits her uncle on holiday. She finds that he is living with an erotically charged young woman with omnivorous tastes, and that he also houses a young man and another young woman who are scarcely less uninhibited in the taking of their intimate exercise. Linda becomes precipitately involved in coupling individually with the whole household, and she bounces to and fro among them with few limitations as to 'what goes where' as they self-indulge enthusiastically. As the options become (literally) exhausted a party is arranged in which a donkey plays a dominant part, and the book ends with the reader wondering where it could possibly go from there. The writing is close to the border between erotic literature and pulp fiction, and although the scenarios are undoubtedly hot, I found the overall impression to be rather chilly.

In Japan, obsessive adult fans and collectors of manga and anime are known as otaku. When the underground otaku subculture first emerged in the 1970s, participants were looked down on within mainstream Japanese society as strange, antisocial loners. Today otaku have had a huge impact on popular culture not only in Japan but also throughout Asia, Europe, and the United States. Hiroki Azuma's Otaku offers a critical, philosophical, and historical inquiry into the characteristics and consequences of this consumer subculture. For Azuma, one of Japan's leading public intellectuals, otaku culture mirrors the transformations of postwar Japanese society and the nature of human behavior in the postmodern era. He traces otaku's ascendancy to the distorted conditions created in Japan by the country's phenomenal postwar modernization, its inability to come to terms with its defeat in the Second World War, and America's subsequent cultural invasion. More broadly, Azuma argues that the consumption behavior of otaku is representative of the postmodern consumption of culture in general, which sacrifices the search for greater significance to almost animalistic instant gratification. In this context, culture becomes simply a database of plots and characters and its consumers mere "database animals." A vital non-Western intervention in postmodern culture and theory, Otaku is also an appealing and perceptive account of Japanese popular culture. Kirjastojen kuvailuja ei löytynyt. |
