The calculated silences and disinformation surrounding the AIDS epidemic, the scapegoating of &ldquo;deviants,&quot; and the everyday bafflements of sensual love are intersecting themes in Jaffe&rsquo;s razor-sharp parables about Eros under seige.<br /><br />Critical praise of <em>Eros: Anti-Eros</em><br /><br />&ldquo;Jaffe&rsquo;s wild satire rips the mask off America&rsquo;s perpetrated adolescence. His fictions are a wonder of deadpan humor, biting wit and visual beauty. No recent fiction has gripped me with such force and immediacy.&rdquo; &ndash; Marianne Hauser<br /><br />&ldquo;Disturbing, fascinating, wickedly funny. Like Kathy Acker, Jaffe addresses issues of desire through a radical esthetic fully informed by postmodernism. Jaffe has one of the most penetrating literary intelligences at work today. And one of the angriest imaginations.&rdquo; &ndash; Larry McCaffery</P> 02 Eros collides with Anti-Eros in these menacingly comic fictions in which physical love and desire are policed by a high-tech, militarist, media-manipulated society.
