"Banankontakt" with Electric Banana Band

Book tip of the day: "Bananflugornas Herre" ("Lord of the Banana Flies") by Fredrik Eklund

It’s hard to start with a new book when you just have finished such a good book as McCann's "Dancer", but just to make the jump a little bit smaller (well…), I choose Fredrik Eklund’s (alias Tag Ericsson) book about how he decided to be the world biggest gay porn star.
It’s not at raunchy as it sounds though, since it is much more a book about a very unsatisfied and worried soul, a search for identity, and a revenge for being denied a normal childhood by being a homosexual child.
Even if the book feel quite schizophrenic (it feels like Eklund can’t decide whether this story should be told as a drama or by humor), and it is hard to know what is true and what is made up (for instance the names of persons and movies are changed, but are the experiences true?), it is a nice little read and I guess every homosexual will recognize some of Eklund’s anguishes and frustrations.
So, well worth reading!
…but now I have to read something strict heterosexual to pull myself out of the world of decadent gay-clubs in New York for a while…
Ironically enough that would be a book by a guy named Gayle. =)

Keep readin’
Tomorrow’s a new day and a new song.
