Bad but fun. And I didn't think the smut parts were hot. I will be reading the next one. Characters are almost all dumbasses.

Information about the edition: "Published by Grove Press / A division of Grove Press, Inc. / 841 Broadway / New York, NY 10003-4793." Printed in 1993; the January 1 date is a placeholder. First English-language edition. ISBN listed as 0-8021-1516-0, but I guess this was before they included the 978. Also in the LoC Cataloging-in-Publication: PL865.07138K5813 1993 / 895.6'35-dc20 / 92-12871.
Review of the book: bizarre little book! I liked it though. So weirdly matter-of-fact and yet also overwrought.

Jayne is sooo damaged and maladapted that the first half of the book is kind of hard to get through, but the second part really brings it home. Holy moly.
