This book feels like a series of Polaroid pics of dingy, triply scenes. There’s a lot of sucking of miscellaneous fluids from various orifices… mostly human and animal, occasionally inanimate objects. A lot of decomposition and sexual situations, which basically blend together.
While gross, the writing is engaging. I didn’t like this book for 98% of it, when I finally clicked as to what it was trying to do. I had an “oh!” moment. But I never wasn’t to reread this book.

As a novel: 1 star, a nightmarishly convoluted mess of unlinked ideas and nonsense.
As an audiobook, listened to like an unhinged women's rambling of poetry and prose with occasional flashes of beautiful genius: 3.5 stars
Props to Angela Goethals narration
