My Grab-Bag Of Sallies : A Literary Pabulum

IVAN DEMITRIUS KAFALLO burst upon the literary scene with his extraordinary, critically acclaimed first novel, Profane Chronicles. Kafallo, being the latest in a line of thinkers to have extensively read and regurgitated the wisdom they have garnered, is what Harold Bloom has called "a novelist as a wisdom writer." And here, at last, under one roof, are all of Mr Kafallo's eloquently penned and pulling-no-punches essays from The Darkly Glamorous Menace. Women and their magic are under the loupe of this connoisseur of everything feminine, in all its allure and wiliness, offering "his own" truth about women, a subject that has titillated and baffled men ever since time began. With Kafallo, a logophile extraordinaire as your guide, you will enter an Ali Baba cave strewn with lusty, jestful and delicious words and witticisms. Slow down and savor every sentence and every paragraph, because this is not your ordinary airport-read you buy to kill time. This is Literature full of untapped wisdom, of unmatched eloquence, irreverence and inflammatory insights into women's nuanced thinking. So pour yourself a glass of wine and reach for your dictionary (or better yet, acquire The Darkly Glamorous Menace which has a 30-page Lexicon attached to its tail end) and prepare to enjoy a wild ride packed with erotic erudition laced with acerbic cynicism, erupting at times into sheer hilarity not seen since Anthony Burgess. Some of the essay subjects: On Women and the Art of Being Delphic and Unfathomable, On the Joys of Catcalling, On Woman and Her Vessel, On Slapping Woman on the Rump, On Women Who Love it Doggie-Style, On Women And Their Magic, On Concupiscence and Marriage, On Paying For Sex in Middle-Age, On Pussyfication in America, A Paean To Woman's Beauty, On Lusting After the New Eve, On Men Marrying For Pussy, On Alphamegamania, On Having Sex With a Hot Brazilian Number, On Marriage, Adultery and Prostitution, A Note on Women and Lying, On Poetry Inspired By Lust, On Books, Marriage and Writing, and also: On Father's Love, On Words, On Language, On Writing and Rewriting, On Death and Dying, etc. Over 60 essays, subtitled A Literary Pabulum, i.e. a daily nutrient requirement!
