Synopsis

This is where the novel has a nervous breakdown.Anna Noon is a twenty-year-old student with a taste for perverse sex involving an enigmatic older man and a ventriloquist's dummy. Anna lives in Aberdeen, and her sex life revolves around the ancient stone circles in this region. The sublime grandeur of the stones provides a backdrop against which Anna is able to act out her provocative psychodramas.This is a book about the body in which the carnal is a manifestation of consciousness: a book in which it is virtually impossible to distinguish the ancient from the post-modern. Drawing on literary modern and recent continental philosophy, as well as pulp appropriations, 69 Things to Do with a Dead Princess suggests that schizophrenia may well be the only sane response to capitalism.
