Your Satisfaction is Guaranteed:
"[This is a novel] about the nature of civilization, and the world it portrays is quite extraodinarily repulsive....This is a satiric book, written by a puritan, who, like that other satirist Swift, is deeply repelled by the normal functions of the human body as well as the more abnormal ones. Does it work, as a satire? On balance, it is probably too extreme, and its targets both too many and not sufficiently serious....Moreover, it is not at all funny. Its characters are so uniformly unpleasant that they are hard to distinguish. .. . It must be said that this book in its way is memorable. One might want to forget it, but it won't be easy."
Margaret Drabble, New York Times Book Review, 2/8/76
Review:"[The book's] poor distorted generation, full of hatred for their parents and terrified of any form of compassion or gallantry, is described with a total ferocity which is nevertheless frequently comic....it is a remarkable fantasy."
New Statesman, 10/17/1975
