Geek Love by Katherine Dunn
5.0

I guess this is one of those 'love-it-or-hate-it' books. I really enjoyed the dark absurdist style of it. It took a bit of effort for me to get used to the urban slang sometimes used, but that was rewarded with some truly beautiful sentences and great use of metaphor (e.g. 'the tidal scent of cabbage' or the main character who suffers from dwarfisms referring to her 'agnostic spine').

Interesting take on family values...
