I think if I was unaware of the author's other history, I would be able to say that this is a semi-interesting book with a compelling art style, even if literally half the book is porn of a 13-year-old and a 16-year-old having sex, while the 16-year-old keeps trying to get the 13-year-old to drink and do all sorts of other nonsense.
However, if you look into the author's other stuff just a tad, this is not the first book he's written with sexual relationships between adults and minors. If it's a pattern and it's not really transformative in any way, I do become a little suspicious.
The book feels very dreamy and surreal. I think there are elements of the story that are compelling to me but knowing about this guy's history just makes me feel even more skeeved out.
