Spot on in its exploration of the ostensible radical politics of "leftist" men who use maxims of the far left to disguise their patriarchal hunger for dominance without ever comprehending the true essence of these philosophies.
I have also grown really fond of the way Kandasamy weilds her words.
Moderate: Domestic abuse
Minor: Sexual assault

An incredibly deliberate, artistic, and arresting novel. I will be reading more of Meena Kandasamy and rereading this soon.
