What is so remarkable about Naked Pictures is that it represents a shift in the tide of recent comedian novels, and one that will hopefully continue in the future.

No worker, so far, has fallen from the Nativity Facade of the Sagrada Famolia and been caught by an angel; no Japanese tourist has burst out with stigmata in the ticket line. The best that Almuzara and his devotees have been able to come...
