Fiction. LGBT Studies. Translated from the Slovene by Aaron Gillies. "This book is a serene and speedy whirlpool. It reminds me of baroque golden altars with enormous ears, in Slovenia and Chile at its highest pitch"--Tomaz Salamun. "Polajnar takes all of the social institutions--science, religion, the state--puts them in a vise, and twists. What emerges is a clever and compelling tale, full of music, theater, and delicious sex. It's like the writing George Orwell might have done if he hadn't had that big stick up his ass"--D.A. Powell.
