This is well done but the level of constant misogyny and the recurring sexual violence is just exhausting. Probably wont read this author again.

Love her accidentally getting flagged as a communist agitator and having no idea, because she watched her neighbor’s cat who turned out to be an activist, and she’s just visiting the neighbor’s commie friends because the neighbor owes her cat sitting money.

Didn’t realize some of the similarities of a main character indirectly friends with a college protestor trying to overthrow a government regime when I picked this so soon after “My Tender Matador,” though that one was 1980’s Chile and this is 1960’s Mexico.
They are very different characters and stories though, so I’m still enjoying it a lot despite the coincidence of reading them so close together.

Vic ignoring huge bombshell plot reveals because he’s annoyed the reveal wasn’t free benzos 😂

The red cover is for all the red flags

“I wasn’t ex-Hardcore Vic, a guy with no hobbies besides pretend-jogging and porn. I was an astral cop too.” (Vic is inspiring as always 😂)

So much toxic, sexually charged codependent theatre drama, totally onboard.

Really into the mix of possessiveness and competitiveness and manipulation and sexual tension between all the actors and staff on this play.

One of my reads for queer lit from pre-2000, a Taiwanese 1994 novel about queer women in college.

Vic and Jacob as a team are so fun, loving the complex story too

Vic trying to figure out how to work out is cracking me up

Loving the writing style

Love his first meeting and conversation with Giovanni at the bar!

A lot of Camp Hell is mainly him bursting into different acquaintances’ places of work without notice and absolutely ruining their days; sweating everywhere ranting about surveillance and asking for drugs, it’s incredible. Our fave train wreck dialed up to 11

Vic you absolute train wreck, rooting for you buddy.

Oh boy

Big oof
