Holy shit. The antitode to assimilationist queer stories. Messy, fucked up, damaged people doing terrible things to themselves and others in a dying world. Incredible, and doesn't leave you with an easy answer, explanation, or ending. 

Like most books of its type, a lot of people will hate it or misunderstand it. But it's great.
