This book is weird and wonderful, unexpectedly poignant and utterly profane. It definitely won't be for everyone. Especially not in an era of readers that adamantly refuse to engage with or examine anything that makes them uncomfortable. And this will make you uncomfortable if you have any sense of decency. But you might also recognize something in these remarkable characters. I dare you to sit with them until the end.

The blurb should have prepared me for a new level of absurdity, but it didn't. 4 stars because the first half felt more gratuitous and less compelling than the second.
