...THIS wouldn't matter so much if Fanny contained an intriguing plot or at least a reasonably interesting story line. But Jong doesn't seem to have time for these details. The message, the message. The book's jacket characterizes the insides as "highly entertaining" and "wildly funny"; could that refer to the page-and-a-half roster of eighteenth-century synonyms for "vagina"? Or maybe you consider reading about 12 men who gang-rape an innocent victim wildly funny...
...decades, Jean-Luc Godard has been cinema's master of collage.

They also found the authorities determined to maintain tight discipline with the help of 1,000 Army guards and 350 civilian officers, most of them from the U.S. Park Police. "El Bulevar," the black...
...evening Iraqis are treated to a film of their President strolling through factories, bouncing babies on his knees, chatting with peasants-all to the soft strains of Tchaikovsky. Of late, in further pursuit of popularity, Saddam has even traded in his natty, British-tailored suits for a military fatigue jacket, pistol belt and red-checked kaffiyeh, making him look rather like an Arabic Fidel Castro...
