I was eager to begin this book, winner of the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction, 1994, and the National Book Award, 1993. Fifteen minutes into it, it seemed to be headed somewhere I didn't want to go, so I abandoned the listening of it. Had I known it had been made into an R rated movie, I might have been forewarned.

Not my cup of tea.
