PERMANENT OBSCURITY
permanent obscurity, or the full t-tle: “permanent obscurity: or a cautionary tale of two girls and their misadventures with drugs, p-rnography and death by dolores santana (as told to richard perez)”, published in 2010 by ludlow press, is neo-s-xploitation novel and dark comedy written by new york times contributor, richard perez, author of the losers’ club, a novel set in the east village in the 1990’s, which has been translated into three languages: italian , turkish, and korean. the story of permanent obscurity, broken into three parts: “the kinky hook,” “strange hungers,” “no man’s land” — takes place in new york city’s east village (circa the bush era), and it chronicles the rise and fall of a unique and intense relationship. the main characters, dolores and serena, two chemically dependent, down-and-out artists set out to take control of their lives by making a fetish-noir/femdom movie. of course, things don’t exactly turn out as planned.
permanent obscurity: or a cautionary tale of two girls
and their misadventures with drugs, p-rnography and death by dolores santana
(as told to richard perez)
– a youthful bohemian satire,
– a story of alienated nonconformists,
– a “girls on the lam” story,
– a s-xploitation and s/m romp,
– a spoof of cult celebrity and “true-life” tabloid sensationalism
“dope reduces the anxiety of social life, especially in an underground art and rock scene simultaneously characterized by chronic insecurity and outsize egos, relentless status compet-tion and the stark alternatives of sudden success and permanent obscurity.” — from an article on heroin in the village voice (dated august 23, 1994)
