I picked this up because it was referenced in Jenny Hval's book, Girls Against God, which I absolutely loved. It's definitely a book of its time, with lots of added forward-slashes in the tradition of 80s deconstructionism. The author photo on the back cover was worth the price I paid for the book, honestly. I think if I were Canadian, the book would have been more interesting, but I mostly only enjoyed the last third, where the connections to Anna Karenina are made explicit.
