Description
"Mark Matousek takes you everywhere his title promises-and then some. Sex Death Enlightenment is the most gripping and elegantly written memoir I've read in ages. It tugged me ever onward like the best suspense novel, though I couldn't help lingering time and again to savor its wisdom."
-Armistead Maupin, author of Tales of the City
"As Mark Matousek's exhilarating memoir, Sex Death Enlightenment, proves, disgust with and even terror at the hollowness of a life spent manufac- turing glitz can send one screaming down the highway toward the holy even faster than doing time in an ashram...as his soulful, charming book makes clear, we are all-sick or not-under comparable death sentences. But, as Matousek also reveals, that is only the first of many astonishing discoveries available to the openhearted, even those who work at (or read) slick magazines with celebrities on the cover."
-Esquire
"Matousek becomes a punk Everyman, both ignorant and searching, narcissistic and open-minded, terrified and brave...He's a good writer and a true seeker, and when he sees 'how permeable (is) the boundary between life and death, we want to listen."
