Geoffrey Bent discloses all of the dirty details in "Silent Partners," his satiric ode to necrophilia. In graphic descriptions, Warren Piece, his hero, fucks anything that doesn't move. From fornicating with his dead girlfriend to forcing oral sex on the Unknown Soldier, the local author finds rapture in violating the ultimate of taboos over and over again. Says Piece, "I swear if a person can fuck a skeleton, he can fuck anything. If it only had some dead association for me, I would have tried the ultimate and fucked the air." Bent makes his case that soulless sodomy is merely a different type of masturbation.

Geoffrey Bent reads from "Silent Partners" on November 22 at Quimby's, 1854 West North, (773)342-0940.
