Blood Rites of the Bourgeoisie

BLOOD RITES OF THE BOURGEOISIE BY STEWART HOME 
Book Works £8.00. 14 June 2010. ISBN 978-1-906012-23-6

Why does the art world hypocritically promote female creative talent but simultaneously fail to accord wimmin artists the respect given to their male counterparts?

When wimmin aged 20 to 40 make up the bulk of the audience for art in London, why are they so under-represented in top curational posts and how exactly does this glass ceiling operate?

Just what has happened to the feminist movement now that the likes of Madonna and Lady Gaga are being held up as role models for prepubescent and teenage girls?

Can the background to these and related questions be illuminated by taking penis enlargement spam and replacing the generic 'she' and 'her' it invokes with the names of well-known artists and curators? Stewart Home believes the answer to this last question is "YES", and so he used endless extreme fantasies about famous art world wimmin as the starting point of his outrageous new cyber-novel The Blood Rites of the Bourgeoisie!

Written in the second person and in part generated from spam emails, Blood Rites of the Bourgeoisie is a shot in the arm for prose fiction; and a kick up the backside for the male dominated London art world. More shocking than 5000 volts of unadulterated electricity! Or, as Malcolm McLaren put it after reading the manuscript on his death bed: "FEMINISM WITH BALLS."

BTW: Blood Rites Of The Bourgeoisie also provides the low down on the run-up to the writing of the Belle de Jour blog and books.

he said penis...hee hee hee

[stewarthome]

@darkhousemedia yeah, that was to provide contrast with the laying out of the notion of abstract literature that follows on.... the first sentence including the word penis is what we're leaving behind.....

@ChristopherNosnibor there's nothing like being taken for a ride. I love it, and the way your dildo matches your boots too. But with my new herbal remedy you wouldn't need a dildo, you could make Florence Nightingale buckle and moan all night!
