You know what, this book reminds me of A Little Life, like trauma porn set in the natural world. As a reader you got to have a certain detachment as you read it because there are some unfathomable scenes that make you go "whaaaaat?!?!?" I was grossed out yet intrigued, and that shows how Tallent is a tallented writer (haha).
I love love love his prose and his writing style. He has a frightening way of making violence, in all its forms, seem so seductive.
Anyway I've also entered many tags under graphic
