When you read this book, you can manage your main. It's very useful

A very lonely and intimate book. It is incredibly physical, with characters possessing odd bodies that look, move and act in dysfunctional ways. It is a different way of approaching the grotesque as since everything from the setting, main and side characters, is 'freakish,' the 'freakish' becomes the norm; if you aren't a 'freak,' you aren't 'normal.' Nothing much happens in terms of plot, but what one's gender, race, sexuality and disability mean to the self and its relevance to society is questioned as these characters attempt to express themselves and to become comfortable with their identities.

Different point of views, very exciting, explores narcissism and racism without overwhelming.

It was one of my 6 stars read this winter. I loved everything starting from the writing. The story altered my brain chemistry.
