I DNFed this book twice years ago, but I finally shoved through it to get it off my shelf and into the trash. I would never throw a book away, always pass it on. However, this book is criminal and will go in the trash immediately. This book and Franco are grotesque, narcissistic, and delusional. This isn’t “art” or “experimental” or even “pushing boundaries”. It reads as if each stories is trying to up the criminal and shock factor of the last. These stories are supposed to be fictional but after everything we know about Franco now I’m not so sure. A truly deplorable book.
