Confirmed what I already knew about Mcgill, everyone who goes there is a freak for real. Jokes aside, a really fun and biting book on race, sexuality, and how we stereotype the people around us

Hilarious, reflective, engaging, thought-provoking. 

I can just imagine how this was recieved when it was just released. It is clear the author wanted to provoke the reader and push the enevlope with this one. 

An engaging read.

Kind of a fever dream of what I imagine it might have been like to be young and horny in the 80s, with layers of sexual and racial politics simmering away (mostly) under the surface.
