As reviewed and image-triggered by Des Lewis…
From “Origine du monde” (beware looking at this famous Courbet painting here!) to “a roulette of friends and lovers [went] in and out her life as fast as a starving cheetah after a pronghorn antelope.” This is the unmissable and truly MIND-WILDING story of a girl in Lima, late of Cuzco, and her Jaguar obsession, her computer streaming services, from a “constant chain of epiphanies” to “A constant chain of messages and replies [was] in constant flow in the weeks after that first virtual face-off,…” And her meeting with a girl with similar proclivities, who includes the skills of the mending and mantling of computers. A were-Jaguar Sapphic alliance of powerful cosmoverse repercussions. Alongside a Bowenesque ‘shadowy third’ in the shape of a tattoo man, and the words he instils are now inscribed upon the the reader that is me. Took me to the limits of reading.
“Anti-climax at its best.”
