It's difficult to look at this book with a modern eye and wonder how it would have been received at the time. There are a lot of things in this book that are pretty unacceptable to a modern audience and it's hard to imagine that they were ever acceptable before.
It's a strange book, which is more like a series of short character studies than stories. I can't say I found any of it erotic at all, but some of it was interesting to see the world from someone else's perspective.
