In My Parents' Bedroom


From the cover blurb:

Barry Malzberg has already revealed in SCREEN and in ORACLE OF THE THOUSAND HANDS the very effective quality of his witchcraft.  In IN MY PARENTS' BEDROOM, his iron-cold humor cracks open once again the lid of our "everyday reality."

Master Westfield joins a public tour through his childhood home, which has become a museum.  An alternately chilling and fascinating museum, devoted to the preservation of the strangest art. He is accompanied by a blonde girl wearing a dark raincoat -- his companion and partner in erotic play, perhaps more; her name escapes him.  All his senses are captured, overwhelmed, aggrandized by the gradual revelation of an ominous mystery.

Malzberg resembles no-one, although his art has frequently been compared to
Pinter's.  At 30 he is one of the impressive new forces on the literary horizon.
