DescriptionPoppy Z. Brite - Plastic Jesus  PLASTIC JESUS is Poppy Z. Brite's answer to her self -asked question, What if John Lennon and Paul McCartney had been lovers? Brite fictionalizes John and Paul with Seth and ? , a couple of English boys in early 60's England. They meet, realize they make a great musical pair, start a band called the KYDDS, make great music, lots of money and tour. The homosexual aspect is interesting in how Brite shows how attitudes change, however small, in people once they know or work with a gay male. The best thing about this novella is how Brite uses the backdrop of the Stonewall riots as the KYDDS' coming out party. In the end, the cliche "the more things change the more they stay the same" is all too painfully true. The ending is smart and true to the theme of the whole piece. Poppy also illustrates the book using some very kidlike drawings...at first glance they are very simple, but upon further reflection they are charismatic and intuitive.
