Much to the chagrin of local authors, we do not do book reviews here at New Times, but on this blog, we do like to give some free pub to those who pick the most provocative subjects and titles.

So this one goes out to you, Art Greenwald, the local author of Anal Probe: A Penetrating Peek Into the Gay Life. Here's a portion of the email he sent us:

Part autobiographical, "Anal Probe" features a mixed bag of high drama, humor, personality profiles, social commentary and closet adventures with a strong South Florida flavor.

Greenwald tells us that Anal Probe is "internationally available internationally in over 25,000 book stores." No doubt it will get some action in Wilton Manors. But the title might not be quite ambiguous enough for a closet case who's shopping in Ames, Iowa. So you lads may want to take advantage of Amazon's discreet packaging by going here.
