I read, or better stated, tried to read this one for one of my challenges.
It hasn't been a success.
It's part of a twin set.. Tropic of Capricorn being its sibling.
The difference between them is probably that 'Cancer' centers in Paris, and 'Capricorn' in New York.
I didn't like it much.. Its pretty graphic, which usually doesn't bother me, but it does have to have a purpose. Maybe its true beauty lay further on, but I couldn't bring myself to read it until the end.
