I haven't ever ready anything quite like this. Chock full of ideas, surreal and satiric, I loved it. Sullivan uses the now-familiar trope of all-the-people-of-a-certain-gender have died off in the most ingenious ways, the whole while dropping in name-braded humor that really was Laugh Out Loud.
This is one of those books that makes me look at the world differently, knowing that my take on reality isn't as solid as I would like to think.
Can't wait to read her other stuff.
(Oh, and it's feminist as hell. I kind of can't believe that this book got published, given both it's ideas and it's prevalent use of “cunt” and “pussies”.)
