Geek Love
by Katherine Dunn
Oh boy, this was a doozy. First I learned that Geek does not mean what I think it means. How many horrifying events and hateful characters could be jammed within a single story? Right off the bat we have thalidomide-like designer babies, which made me think twice about continuing, and it just keeps getting weirder. It helped to have the alternating past-present timelines to keep me grounded in knowing that our heroine (is she though?) survives her messed up childhood, with enough mystery around the disturbing contents of the time in between to keep me reading.
