Blow Job ist das dritte Buch, das im Nautilus Verlag von Stewart Home erscheint. Nach den Erstlingsroman: “Pure Mania- Purer Wahnsinn; Sexual Perversion at ist most!” folgte “Stellungskrieg” dem Schlachtruf: “Anarchie! Faulheit! Polymorphe Perversion!” Und nun, seit Februar 2001: “Blow Job”. In Englisch sind ausserdem als Roman: “Red London” (Marx, Christ and Satan united in struggle!) und, als neustes Werk “Cunt” (Fotze) erschienen, mit dem Titel zum Aufkleben auf dem Buchruecken, ihr wisst schon warum. Theoretische Buecher sind “Neoism, Plagiarism & Praxis”, “What is Situationism?” , “Cranked up really high” (Ueber Punk), “The assault on Culture”. “Blow Job” sei Stuarts bestes Buch bisher, versichert mir der Zeremonienmeister der Stewart Home Society.
