Nutting's pedophile novel is cringe-inducing in its subject matter but somehow seductive like a modern-day Lolita. Sometimes it was laugh-out-loud funny and way more graphic than I expected. This book will get talked about and make many folks uncomfortable for a long time. But Nutting is a firecracker of a writer and truly turns risky writing into an art form here.
