Lockpick Pornography by Joey Comeau
Blurb for the back cover:
“This book isn’t for everyone. I however found it really funny.”
Joey Comeau is the author of a softer world web comic. One day he says “hey I wrote a book and you can download it for free”. So I did.
In Comeau’s book Lockpick Pornography, the main protagonist (whose name I can’t seem to find) is upset at the heterosexuals for creating such a messed up world. His goal is to somehow restore balance by upsetting heterosexuals either by stealing their TV or by making phone calls to question them about gender identity. Together with three of his friends, they create a scheme to create a childrens book called “Johnny’s a Girl, Sometimes” and sneak it in to schools as a way to let little kids know that there is nothing wrong with being different. There is also a kidnapping involved.
This book is not for everyone. I could easily see Lockpick Pornography offending some people who might not appreciate its type of satire. The book constantly argues that heterosexuals and their way of life (religion, monogamy, having a family) is inferior. The book attacks the close mindedness of the stereotypical conservative right-wing individual. And it’s funny in a “let’s feed babies to the hungry” type way.
When I started reading this book I hated the main protagonist. He’s not very likable and he’s kind of a jerk. At the end of the book I still hated him, but I found him a lot more interesting and had a better understanding of the way he thinks things through.
This book isn’t for everyone. I however found it really funny and enjoyable to read. You can always check it out online for free before you try reading it or buy an actual copy.
