5.0

Boy Parts is incredibly disturbing, casually violent, and absolutely repulsive in the best possible way.

We follow fetish photographer Irina as she collects men right of the street and shapes them into the subject of her troubling and uncomfortable photography. She consistently oversteps the line of consent and we eventually discover just how far she will go.

Everyone forgets, and everything disappears. The things you do, the things you are; it’s all nothing. Would anyone miss you, if you went away? Would anyone look for you? Would anyone listen, or even care, if I hurt you? If I put my hands around your neck and crushed your windpipe and chopped you up, would anyone find you? And if it’s a no to any of these, did you even exist in the first place? 

Perhaps one of the most uncomfortable books I have ever read and I suggest you proceed with caution.
