Query: Why the hype?

I read this book after reading an article about how the author was a new innovative voice in literature. Literature? This book is more strick erotica than anything. While Bernstein has moments of illumination and his candid honesty is appreciated, he also teachers us nothing new, his writing style more ADD than anything. Why do so many books like this get published--it's just one of those hustlers plays around, does drugs, acts irresponsible and never gets it together. Another thing that should deter people is the price of this book. Almost eighteen dollars (retail) for a paperback? Not worth it, AT ALL.
