Xala Hits the Spot

I thought Xala was cool. Short and sweet. Its a novel based on a man's penis; his road to excellence spirals into chaos all because of the power he lost in the bedroom. I think that is irony in rawest form. I think it all started (the irony, that is) with his wifes. He had like two already with a plethora of little hims. Just doing to much, In the eyes of his friends and business people, he was the man. He was so much the man that he had to split his time in half with his wives. One got him nights and the other got him days. So, this third wife, one of which he didn't really need or have much time for, he decided to marry because she was young, and firm... Whatever. Thats were it smacked him in the face. I don't even think he was really attracted to the third wife; she had to grow on him. She was just to show everyone that he could manage another... Which he did quite well. He would provide her with all the necessary things she wanted, ya know, for children and stuff, but what he couldn't do was HER. Which is where irony played his role... That was a curse; and because of the that curse he had to step down from his authoritative figure and dehumanize himself. He was a jerk. What goes around comes around. That was a message in this book.
