Review of Mecca Pimp by Bernard Radfar

My short review of Mecca Pimp: A Novel of Love and Human Trafficking by fellow Homewood-Flossmoor High School alumnus, Bernard Radfar:

I have often been told, sometimes by my own family members and friends, that much of my own writing is a bit riske and politically incorrect. After reading Bernard Radfar’s novel, I can honestly say that my own writing should be considered to be tame by comparison. Radfar’s novel moves fast and hooked me in in such a way that I found it to be hard to put down (or rather sign out of on my Kindle). Freudian, surreal, and to be categorized in the realm of the theater of the absurd, the novel is an ingenious satire which emerges from the author's own philosophical positions concerning the absurdity of human life which leaves us alone in an dark universe of despair and solitude as we, its stumbling occupants, go to extreme lengths in a comical and desperate quest and search for an unreachable and perhaps non-existent meaning of life. Fellow Homewood-Flossmoor alumni as well others might want to read this novel. But be forewarned, this is not a book for those who are easily offended and afraid to venture into the dark regions of human existence on a strange trip which violates just about every tenant of political correctness and makes a mockery, in the way of satire and comedy, of much of what the ordinary person holds to be sacred. I personally enjoyed reading the novel immensely, but I fully understood that in order to do so I was required to, for the time required to read the novel at least, set aside my own traditional, religiously inspired, and rather conventional attitudes and beliefs concerning human morality. A compelling and at times hilarious book, but certainly not recommended for the faint of heart or easily affronted.
