...poetic prose. It just lays out the funny-gory scenes--say, a man with a hunting knife in his eye--and hopes you get the point. It's best to see this as a drug buffet. Graze through the vignettes (with such visiting dignitaries as Holly Hunter and Dennis Hopper), and you'll find three or four tasty bits to snack...
