This book was like a fever dream. A week in the life of a two-spirit/indigiqueer Jonny who is trying to make his own life in the big city. He's working to raise money before he has to return to the reservation for his step father's funeral. He makes money by working as a cyber-sex worker that willingly fetishizes himself to pay the bills. He morphs himself into whatever image his clients want from their "exotic Native" lover. This book is poetic and loaded with sex, drugs, and rock and roll. Jonny is not necessarily making the best choices at all times but he is mostly aware of what he is doing. His days are filled with misdeeds and melancholy memories. This was an excellent first novel from poet Joshua Whitehead.
