Review of A Boy and His Dog (1975) by Mark R — 03 Jan 2009
A classic story about post-nuclear holocaust America. Teenage boys will still be teenage boys. And patriarchal rednecks will be patriarchal rednecks.
SPOILER: The teenage boy with overactive hormones eventually finds himself in a situation where he is to be papa to an entire race: he's the one fertile male left in a city. He views it as being ultimate paradise. But instead of it being unending pleasure without commitment, he gets the opposite. All the women are to be "married" to him, but there is to be, uh, how to say, no pleasure on his part in the means of procreation. Such an irony.
