The Exquisite Corpse by Alfred Chester
Requirements: .PDF reader, 34.8 MB
Overview: Lyric and tender one moment, cruel and dizzying the next, The Exquisite Corpse neither celebrates perversity nor laments it; rather it projects it as part of man’s never-ending search for a true self and for transcendent communion with others.
The novel takes its title from a Dada-Surrealist parlor games, each of whose participants draws a section of the human body on a pleated sheet of paper so that no one can know, until it is unfolded, what creature of joy or terror has been brought into the world. In forty-nine brief chapters, each jump-cutting into the next, characters are introduced in concrete detail and then, with the lightning-quick illogic of a dream, are transformed into other characters, other genders, other sexes. They get caught up in one another’s visions, quests, terrors, and erotic longings.
Since its original publication in 1967, The Exquisite Corpse has become widely recognized as an underground classic—and, like Sade’s 120 Days of Sodom, a perversely moral masterpiece.
