Just because it's in your library doesn't mean it doesn't contain adult content. <smile> But of course, it's possible to cover those topics without actually being graphic. Donna _____ From: bksvol-discuss-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:bksvol-discuss-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Amber Wallenstein Sent: Saturday, July 14, 2007 11:24 PM To: bksvol-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [bksvol-discuss] just submitted, Snakes and Earrings I just submitted Snakes and Earrings by "Hitomi Kanehara,David James Karashima (translator)". I didn't mark it adult, as it was available in my library. Lui is a freeter, or independent young adult, living on part-time jobs and affectlessly clubbing, drinking, drugging, and ssex. She meets literally fork-tongued Ama. She decides to have her tongue done likewise and becomes Ama's noncommittal lover, boffing tattooist Shiba on the side and never learning Ama's real name. Violence, heavy drinking, and death eventually disrupt this drama of youthful degeneracy that steadfastly rejects romanticism. Enjoy, it's a short book at about 125 pages or so.
