Its not for the weak hearted.

'"The Consumer is a look at the inner world of illusion, hallucination, self-hatred, and search for identification through mis-indentification of a lost soul. It is an all consuming book. It is cerainly not a book for the squeamish, yet even the squeamish, I believe, will be hypnotized by this book. Though hallucinatory, the writing is extremely clear, crisp, succinct, as the narrator literally eviscerates himself for the reader. Yet, at the end I found myself with an unanswerable question: are the hallucinations a distortion of reality, or really closer to the reality of the world?"
- Hubert Selby, Jr., author of Last Exit to Brooklyn; Song of the Silent Snow, Requiem for a Dream
"M. Gira is an astonishing writer whose belief in the power of language is almost supernatural. The Consumer is one of the purest, scariest, and most beautiful books I've read in years."
- Dennis Cooper, author of Try:Frisk
"This is repulsive writing. Brilliant, disciplined and repulsive writing."
- Nick Cave'
a must read for anyone into literature.
Gira is also well known for producing every Swans recording put out, but he is one excellent writer, I wish he put out mre stuff.
