BOOK DESCRIPTION


Half brothers Michel and Bruno have a mother in common but little else. Michel is a molecular biologist, a thinker and idealist, a man with no erotic life to speak of and little in the way of human society. Bruno, by contrast, is a libertine, though more in theory than in practice, his endless lust being all too rarely reciprocated. Both are symptomatic members of our atomized society, where religion has given way to shallow ‘new age’ philosophies and love so meaningless sexual connections,

Atomised tells the stories of two brothers, but the real subject of the novel is the dismantling of contemporary society and its assumptions, its polttical incorrectness, and its caustic and penetrating asides on everything from anthropology to the problem pages of girls’ magazines.

BOOK DESCRIPTION

The secrets of sex as a tool in advertising and graphic design are unveiled in this frank exploration of the ubiquitous use of the erotic in mass and underground media. From the covers of 1940s and 1950s pulp novels to the sleazy scripts of adult entertainment ads to the digital curves of virtual heroine Lara Croft, graphic and typographic design relies on sensual allure to titillate, entertain, shock and sell. Cutting edge essays examine the use (and sometimes abuse) of sex and innuendo in advertising, art, film, packaging, and publishing. Sex Appeal examines America’s sexual mores versus its fascination with the illicit, and exposes how these relate to the uses of sex in all forms of visual communication.
