(I really hate that “Write and entry. I dare you!” prompt…) A thoroughly good read. Grim, depressing, confusing and ultimately a sad indictment on humanity in general “Emergency Sex” is nonetheless a ripping yarn about three avergage folk working in various guises for the UN in 1990s disaster zones. The emergency sex of the title is one of the workers response to a particulalry close encounter with snipers. It is not in general a saucy book, though it certainly deals with “Adult Themes”: death, sex, drugs. Yipeee! This book left me with a dual yearning to be of use in this fucked up world and relief that I am cosily ensconced in my safe, posession-laden home likely never to be on a forensic detection mission in Bosnia.
