Transeltown

    :

    Myra Paci

    Description :

    A morbid and tender love story that begins when a lonely girl drags home the naked body of a comatose, genital-less blonde woman. "Those who flocked to Naked Lunch but were disappointed by David Cronenberg’s glossing over of the seamier side of William S. Burroughs’ world need look no further than Paci’s Transeltown. Paci is the lesbian answer to Burroughs. Transeltown takes science fiction, horror, erotica and documentary to wonderfully perverse new levels.
