Sex & Death: Essay on the Uncanny --- Sydney Lea | Numéro Cinq
A beautiful, yes, and uncannily disturbing short essay from Contributing Editor Sydney Lea that approaches the sex & death theme not in any trite pop-phil way, no, but in the way of poetry, juxtaposing two porcupines fucking (oh, man, the teeth chattering of two porcupines going at it) and the author's rage and also the author's own youthfully naive "savage romance" and the squalid death and the Wagnerian rise of "the deafening whistles of great churning trains; the shrieks of taloned raptors; the clamor of enraged men" at the end.
