It’s Spicetime. Get Ready to Shudderate.

In August, Nicholson Baker’s House of Holes arrives. Set at a sex-themed resort, New York Magazine has already said it “may be the raunchiest novel ever published by a major American house.” For now (via Maud Newton’s Twitter page), here’s a list of words that appeared on the book’s 14-page style guide. Actually, the full sample is here. These are just some of the more family-friendly examples (I think).

bonky
boobosity
boycone
eggmate
floof
flump
hip-jouncing
murfle; murflement
shudderation
