The other book is apparently a lengthy collection of previous works, while this is a tiny mini. Oh well, it&#8217;s not like I could possibly stop this one and review that one right now. Why not? Um&#8230; look over there! So anyway, this one is a series of images (that look like they were taken from cooking instructions, or maybe they were just used as a reference\/inspiration) with what appears to be a scattered poem. I&#8217;m lousy at defining such things, so I won&#8217;t even try. I do know that the combined effect of the words with the mostly innocuous images caused a few visceral reactions, so he&#8217;s clearly doing something right. The chopping of the prosthesis, the hand up the turkey&#8217;s ass with the words &#8220;about my boyhood&#8221; and the &#8220;fuck me like this&#8221; page being the prime examples. Dammit, I really should have read his other book first so I&#8217;d have more to talk about. Soon enough, and in the meantime this is almost certainly cheaper than that collected book if you just want a less expensive representation of his work. I have no idea how much is actually costs, as his website doesn&#8217;t say much about it, but let&#8217;s say $3 for the hell of it. His website also has a lot of sample images, if my word salad of a review was worthless to you today.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/foiegrass12.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-18391\" title=\"foiegrass12\" src=\"https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/foiegrass12-226x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"226\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/foiegrass12-226x300.jpg 226w, https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/foiegrass12-773x1024.jpg 773w, https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/foiegrass12.jpg 842w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 226px) 100vw, 226px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Website Foie Gras and the Joy of Cooking #1 I think I picked the wrong book that Edie sent me to review first.
