It borrows, steals, rewrites and desecrates with intent, moving through girlhood, sex, violence, adventure, myth, abjection and revolt as if the novel itself has escaped lawful custody.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"423\" data-end=\"915\"\u003eThe book reads like a pirate radio transmission from the edge of literature: anti-realist, bodily, obscene, playful, furious, and structurally unstable in the best way. For readers of experimental fiction, queer\/feminist punk writing, postmodernism, body writing, Burroughs, Cixous, Dodie Bellamy, Dennis Cooper, and anyone who wants fiction that feels less like a story and more like burning down a building.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"917\" data-end=\"1294\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePicador \/ Pan Macmillan Australia paperback.
