It’s not weird that the book explores sexuality in a different way than we’re talking about now, but it is weird that it was reprinted without question. And all this is additionally strange because this is a 40th anniversary edition, so it’s a reprint, a brand new audiobook reader and new entries. ![]() ![]() ![]() It’s about sexual violence, but it’s handled with such a kind of weird absurdity that I couldn’t process it at first and then kind of let it blur by and since it wasn’t revisited, I just went with it.

I found it disorienting at times, and sometimes the masterful demanded I take notice of the author’s skill rather than lose myself in his characters and their world. Van Booy has created a masterful piece of fiction, although it is not an easy read. The narrative voices and the structure of the novel are inventive and very contemporary in style. Those two aspects turn out not to be overly central, but I’m glad I read it.

There are grand political and moral themes here, as well as more personal explorations of loneliness, loss and intellectual instability.
