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.
