This is slightly less of the noir/thriller it bills itself as on the blurb, but I can't think of a better montage of hazy and violently taboo snapshots and memories.

Every now and then the prose gets so purple (in a good way) that it almost feels perverse to use to describe this kind of sex and violence. Shoutout to the world building which balances alt history dystopia and satire very well without ever feeling overbearing.
