I'm about 60 pages in and laughing hysterically. I heart the Profs. Everett and Kincaid.

Alright, I am about 75 pages into the book and I think I have started hemorraging internally, perhaps a rupture of some godforsaken organ, due to my inability to stop laughing.

Oh holy hell.

Another book I've read for school. Perhaps I'll come back some day and write a more detailed review, but in case I don't: I really liked this one! I wasn't expecting the three-way psychosexual gay drama and it delighted me to read. Plus, the satirical bits about Strom Thurmond and the particular kind of patronizing racism practiced by conservatives hit the mark. Loved the epistolary format as well.

Verdict: 4/5. Recommended to whoever it may concern.

Well, it's got weirdness going for it. Doesn't make it all that interesting, though.
