A lyrical debut novel from a musician and artist renowned for her sharp sexual and political imagery

Jo is in a strange new country for university and having a more peculiar time than most. In a house with no walls, shared with a woman who has no boundaries, she finds her strange home coming to life in unimaginable ways. Jo's sensitivity and all her senses become increasingly heightened and fraught, as the lines between bodies and plants, dreaming and wakefulness, blur and mesh.

This debut novel from critically acclaimed artist and musician Jenny Hval presents a heady and hyper-sensual portrayal of sexual awakening and queer desire.

This was a strangely disgusting but sensual, sapphic feverdream. I would reccomend it, but i also want to give out sone trigger warnings : verbal harrassment, sexual harrassment, there is a lot of urin. Like A LOT. The mc has a strange fixation on it.

not what i expected, but oh well
