I don't know what sexuality has to do with "the classics", nor with this book.
Sex is everywhere, from fine art classics to pure consumerist trash.  The
closer this book has to sex is a frustrated attempt to get busy with a hooker.
It is the character's cynical view of the world that provides it a classic
status, together with the fact that it's well representative of USA's 1950s...

And I'm sure you're joking that an obscure rock band's album is a classic in the
same sense as 19th century poetry, music or Renaissence paintings...
