I also think reading this was a waste of my time. I didn’t identify at all with any of the main characters. Maybe when I get to be a 52 year old and grow a penis I will. Until then, I could hardly stand the protagonist, and his daughter’s behavior isn’t really ever explained satisfactorily. I’m not saying I need everything I read to be tidied up at the end, but I like feeling like there was a purpose in reading it, and I really gained nothing from this.
