A more experimental book compared to what I've read lately! I certainly enjoyed exploring something different. I went into this not knowing what it was about at all and discovered lyrical prose (of what I call the accessible sort) and lots of vivid, sensuous imagery around sex, sexuality, the human body, and bodily fluids...! Not one for you if you are easily grossed out or need books that have a substantial plot, but an intriguing, atmospheric, quick read otherwise.
