About the book
Basically the entire book is about sex, urine, eggs and disgusting and disturbing situations. The narrator and Simone traverse England (?) and Spain, often naked, getting themselves in stranger and stranger situations. Not remotely for the faint of heart. It's a mix of a John Waters movie, Marquis de Sade, Brett Easton Ellis and J.G. Ballard.
