*************** Shouldn't take long to finish the Vian! It's
a short book. Like Hallas's YOU PLAY THE BLACK AND THE RED
COMES UP, there's a strong belief that it was written with
tongue in cheek.
Vian took a lot of grief over I SPIT ON YOUR GRAVE. Although
it saw print, it was banned everywhere. He wrote it using a
pseudonym, and he was heavily fined when the courts found out
he wrote it. He died while watching the filming of the movie
adaptation.
