He's a writer who claims to be so lacking in imagination that his fiction isn't fiction. Kelso is completing a trilogy in which he describes tracking down and shagging the first thousand women he bedded. Despite boasting that he is completely uncreative, Kelso dreams up some seriously Machiavellian scenarios in order to get into the knickers of various women he hasn't seen for years. Kelso is also disarmingly candid about the fact that he sometimes fakes his results. Such dissimulation raises serious doubts about Kelso's reliability as a narrator. \u003ci\u003eCunt\u003c/i\u003e is simultaneously David Kelso's journal and a post-modern variant on one of the oldest genres of prose fiction, the picturesque novel. Kelso's wanderings take him from London to East Anglia and from there to Finland, Sweden, Estonia and the highlands and islands of Scotland. However, the relentless sexual action is occasionally frozen so that the narrator can reflect drunkenly on the philosophy of Deleuze and Guattari or literary obsessions that encompass writers as diverse as Thomas Nashe and George Gissing. \u003ci\u003eCunt\u003c/i\u003e can be read as pornography, satire, travelogue or a combination of all the above and much else besides.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"www.stewarthomesociety.org/cunt.htm\"\u003eNovel website\u003c/a\u003e\u003c/p\u003e"},{"locale":"nl","short_description":"","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLiteraire synopsis\u003c/strong\u003e De verteller van *Cunt* is David Kelso, een schrijver die beweert dat hij zo weinig verbeelding heeft dat zijn fictie geen fictie is. Kelso werkt een trilogie af die beschrijft hoe hij de eerste duizend vrouwen waar hij mee naar bed ging, opzoekt en neukt. Ondanks het opscheppen over zijn gebrek aan creativiteit bedenkt Kelso toch enkele behoorlijk machiavellistische scenario’s om in de slipjes te geraken van verschillende vrouwen die hij in geen jaren meer gezien heeft. Bovendien is Kelso ontwapenend eerlijk over het feit dat hij soms zijn resultaten vervalst. Dat ontveinzen roept twijfels op over Kelso’s betrouwbaarheid als verteller. Tegelijk is *Cunt* het dagboek van David Kelso en een postmoderne variant op een van de oudste genres van fictie: de picareske roman. Kelso’s tocht leidt hem van Londen naar East Anglia en verder naar Finland, Zweden, Estland en de highlands en eilanden van Schotland. De onophoudelijke seksuele actie wordt echter af en toe bevroren voor dronken bespiegelingen van de verteller over de filosofie van Deleuze en Guattari of over literaire obsessies met de meest uiteenlopende schrijvers, zoals Thomas Nashe en George Gissing. *Cunt* kan worden gelezen als pornografie, satire, reisverslag of een combinatie van dat allemaal en nog veel meer.
