“I can’t concentrate. I want to go home. I wish I didn’t enjoy the sensation because I don’t like you, Clive. I do like living in your house where there’s plenty of guns. But I don’t like you at all. But I do like the sensation. Well, I’ll have it then. I’ll have it, I’ll have it… Don’t stop… Don’t stop…”
Sexual taboos, old fashioned values, parenting, racism, manliness, sexism, guns, patriotism, sacrifice, and war all get questioned in this modern classic about family and society.
