In her 1974 book Woman Hating, she talked up sexual use of children and even bestiality, within her kinky vision of "pansexual androgyny." She wrote (pp.190-192):
"The incest taboo can be destroyed only by destroying the nuclear family as the primary institution of the culture. The nuclear family is the school of values in a sexist, sexually repressed society. . .
As for children, they too are erotic beings, closer to androgyny than the adults who oppress them. Children are fully capable of participating in community, and have every right to live out their own erotic impulses...in androgynous community, those impulses would retain a high degree of nonspecificity and would no doubt show the rest of us the way into sexual self-realization. The distinctions between 'children' and 'adults' and the social institutions which enforce those distinctions, would disappear as androgynous community develops."
Dworkin
Mad, abstract, and totally beyond the realities of even the Amberian royalites, Dworkin is the supreme artist, the artist who can mold reality out of art. Born in Chaos, he escaped to create the Patten of Amber, thereby giving shape, boundary, line and form to a world before him had none. In that sense he is a God-figure, a shaper, a maker, "a poietes" in the language of the Greeks. It is said that he was sly and devilish in youth, as scheming and conniving as any of the current Amberites. But to say anyone knows him is a foolish exaggeration.
