The Voices from the Corridor
are a collection of erotic fast fiction, each one preceded
by a drawing as a highlight and key. The primary story element
is the text, with the illustrations and graphic compositions
used as essential stylistic devices to convey atmosphere as
well as interpretation. So the book is really an illustrated
narrative with features of Comics and Graphic Novel.
The strongly sexual color of the motifs show distinct references
to the scope of Pulp and Low Brow, not fetish fixed yet distantly
related to Stantoons, Hentai and other sex comics but much
more extensive and ambitioned in terms of the text.
The episodes depicted, at first seemingly disconnected and
isolated, take place in an uncertain time and space within
the environment of an erotic club of sorts of unclearly mysterious
ambience. The narrator's character is one of the attractions
of the place. She lives and works there, and in the course
of events finds herself in a confusing plot of sex and mystery
laced with shots of kinky gravel.
The reader participates in the events like a voyeur, presented
with quite an abundant panorama, lush and exaggerated like
a look into a kaleidoscope. Yet, on the fringes of this view,
places of increasing opacification and darkening are noticeable.
