Summary:
"A provocative, raucous dark comedy about race and racism in America, now back in print after twenty-five years.

turns words into flesh and flesh into monstrous forms. His writing is as intoxicating as the works of William Burroughs and Ishmael Reed. Under the earthshattering effects of a voodoo spell, blond teenage sex-bomb Bubbles Brazil is plunged into a startling realm of grotesque racist visions.

By the final scene, Bubbles herself has been transformed after the strangest trip a girl can have"--Publisher.
