Comments on: The Word(s) According to Castro http://matadorpulse.com/the-words-according-to-castro/ Just another WordPress weblog Thu, 29 Jul 2010 03:28:10 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Sarah http://matadorpulse.com/the-words-according-to-castro/comment-page-1/#comment-2758 Sarah Thu, 13 Aug 2009 18:00:54 +0000 http://matadorpulse.com/?p=977#comment-2758 Wow! That is...disturbing? Fascinating? Definitely something I want to get my hands on. That's up there with the book written by Ayatollah Khomeini -- I forget the title, but it's his great ruling doctrine--in which he offers advice on when it's ok to have sex with a chicken, and then how to eat/kill the chicken. Literally. Azar Nafisi discusses this in "Reading Lolita in Tehran" and talks about how the book is a hot item for this very reason (not because people actually want this information, but because they get a huge kick out of it.) Any other surreal books by/dedicated to leaders out there anyone knows about? Wow! That is…disturbing? Fascinating? Definitely something I want to get my hands on.
