Lil came from an aristocratic family, but after meeting Aloysius Bineswki, decided to join his carnival and proceed to bite off the heads of chickens for a living. The four children were all born through experimentation of both ‘illicit and prescription drugs, insecticides, and eventually radioisotopes’ performed by their mother, Lil Bineswki. It follows the lives of the Bineswki family who are a bunch of road side ‘freaks’ that run a traveling carnival, each of which have bizarre and unusual genetic deformities. Its postmodern and was published in 1989. Perhaps I should break down this novel into segments. I’ve found that Geek Love has been one of the hardest to view critically its just too enjoyable. As part of my degree we are required to read all sorts of literature and to analyse from critical and often non-biased points of view. Its the sort of book that will stay with you for years and years. I’ve been reluctant to review this book, simply because its utterly fantastic.
