Bestiary

I was eager to get into this book—a magical realism book about an Asian lesbian? Don't mind if I do! But i felt quickly drained as I read on. I'm sure there was a purpose to all of the mentions of all the references to shit, cum, piss, farts, spit, mucus, but I genuinely can't think of any reason for it. The worst part is that I think there are real glimmers of something good and beautiful in this book, but it is so bogged down by graphic detail that it's hard to pick up on it.
