This was the first post-modern novel that I’ve read and I loved it. Like Frankenstein, the story of the protagonist was a story within a grander narrative. We follow Jordan and the Dog Woman, the “Monster” and his adoptive Mother, narrate the events that happened on their different voyages. Jordan had different stories of magical cities filled with magical albeit not moral people. He also met with the Twelve Dancing Princess who had their own stories of magic, love, and loss. At the same time, the Dog Woman narrates the time of King Charles

and his death which would lead to a series of murderous events

and after that the time of the “Pineapple”. The book had markers to identify these shifting narratives Jordan for the Pineapple and the Dog Woman for the Banana. Both fruits have meaning to the two characters and other fruits like the cherry have meaning for the points touched upon by the author.

The book was very progressive, honest, and feminist in talking about sex, love, and what it means to be a woman. It’s also scientific in a way that it makes us rethink about our understanding of time, space, events, memories, bodies, and even magical things. Overall, I loved this book and would definitely re-read it again.
