Poetic, highly surreal, visceral, violent, but also very funny
5 stars
This is probably one of the strangest books I've ever read, in a good way - but not for the faint-hearted.
Poetic, highly surreal, visceral, violent, explicit about everything bodily, shocking, but also very funny at the same time. I think (but could be wrong) a lot of the often gruesome violence has its origins in the Tayan (Taiwan's indigenous people) myths that pervade the storytelling.
