The subtitle says it all - A novel about the frightfulness and ruthlessness of being in love.

Once I got into this, I did enjoy it. There are no characters I liked enough to get behind, so I wasn’t really rooting for anyone. They are all pretty terrible, but the story is compelling.

A somewhat absurd and no doubt Freudian* story about the improbable adventures of a very silly man child. I bet it would make a good TV series.
