A man who can no longer stand living in a world of violence that never touches him ventures out of his shell to engage in a pedestrian illicit sexual liaison-but it's diminished by its failure to be credible amateur porn. It's too much for poor Harper Moross, and his heart gives out. But the failed blow job has been videotaped, and soon, thanks to YouTube, the whole world is fascinated by a man who can't lose his last erection even as he lies in a coma. What the critics would be saying about Coming and Going if they weren't gagged and handcuffed:
"Polymorphous perverse and pathetically phallocentric-but with a quirky post-feminist praxis" -Miranda Mayhem, The Journal of Orgone Accumulation
"Mental masturbation with a huge payoff"-Vera McNamara, Maxim
"A fake memoir that rings true-but who the hell wrote it?"-James Farley, Book Whirled
"Does for the genre of satirical paranoid Baby Boomer sex romps what Beowulf did for the genre of epic bestiality novels."-Hal Pasten, Literary Lacunae
"Since he is crucified in the media, dies from a blow job, and is resurrected, Harper Moross is obviously a Christ figure. But what's not so obvious is how he manages to write his memoir while in a coma, and why anyone should believe any of what this pervert says."-Billious O'Reilly, Fox News Book Reviews. "Highly degrading to men and women"-Joseph Maxwell, Heartfelt: The Magazine for Sensitive Men
