I detect an underlying pee fetish? Why is there so much pee? And mouldy fruit? What exactly is the prose? How was I meant to feel apart from like I need to cleanse myself? This is one of those books that is written to be intelligent and openly interpreted and yet realistically is a bi woman fascinated with pee, mushrooms and mouldy fruit…
