Fucking brutal, but holds up extremely well. Character writing is well observed and sharp, recurring motifs of speech chart changing relationships. Humor and wit are peppered throughout, but the book never feels like it's trying to be too clever or undercut its tone. Hell of a thing to read in 2021

Moderate: Alcoholism, Child death, Death, and Police brutality

Minor: Ableism, Homophobia, and Sexual content

This book's narrator is problematic in many ways, but does not engage in rape or abuse, rather

he tells us about what other people have done to children, and tells the story of someone who was trafficked and abused
