How women were written grated me, they were basically just there to gratify our main character and were weak, subservient and generally pathetic. So, if this is something that grates on you too either skip this book all together or try to keep in mind the time and culture within which this was written - hard as it may be.
Overall, a bizarre, often unsettling, yet often surprisingly funny book which will have you questioning things about life you may never have considered before.
Graphic: Sexism
Moderate: Physical abuse, Sexual content, Suicide, Suicide attempt, Sexual harassment, and Injury/Injury detail
