Why is there no trigger warning for child pornography and child sexual abuse??? Absolutely despicable. There are details of little children being forced to do child pornography. A ton of scenes of young boys watching animal cruelty and porn. I do not know how books like this are legal, I truly don't. Shameful.aaryn83's review against another edition

4.0
Atwood’s writing can be exaggerated and absurd:
“‘…you’d be surprised how many people would like a very beautiful, smart baby that eats nothing but grass. The vegans are highly interested in that little item.’”
But also tragically poetic:
“Everything in his life was temporary, ungrounded. Language itself had lost its solidity; it had become thin, slippery, a viscid film on which he was sliding around like an eyeball on a plate.”
A really morbid ode to the arts.
Moderate: Death, Sexual violence, and Pedophilia
