Surreal, unsettling and liminal. Explores relationships, grief, homelessness, globalisation, capitalism and the exploitation inherent within the system (including child labour/trafficking).
Not sure I'd describe this book as enjoyable, there are a lot of weird sexual moments and disturbing descriptions so it's definitely not for everyone but it does have something to offer if you're in the mood for the truly bizarre.
