If Irving had a weird focus on "little penises" (peni?) in part 1, the weird focus for part 2 is undoubtledly pubic hair 🥴 Like, why so many mentions?! Overabundance of pubic hair mentions aside... This book really is so entertaining and readable and the style is classic yet offbeat in a wholly satisfying way. I'm very in for an Irvingssance!
The pubic hair scene was too perfect! "Perhaps you're a pubic hair collector." And the child size mitten filled with ball bearings to use as a weapon! The horn rimmed barrette and the penis knife! So many things that made me laugh and are forever stuck in my brain. Can't wait to finish.

You are absolutely right...it's SO MUCH!

I forgot about that mitten 😂 We need to get together for a walk or lunch and discuss this book in person!
Absolutely!!
I did not read past the opening paragraph of this one because now I really want to read this book!
Omg please read it and let me know your thoughts (even if it’s months/years later, lol)
