Truck is certainly a strange and difficult novel, and one I would only recommend to a selected few.ħ0's antinovel that attempts to explain the self-conseptual chaos of early puberty by repeating that very chaos in writing. ![]() ![]() But in Dutch, there is this battle going on that I really did find quite profound, as on the one hand we have her cheeky boyish traits on the outside, but inside there is a young woman awakening who is curious and complex and yearning for a settled future as somebody's wife: away from the road away from a possible life of criminality. It felt like Dunn was still learning on the job. Truck has a lot of profanity running through it, and stream of consciousness ramblings that can at times just go on for way too long. ![]() This early novel, which featured a small for her age 15-year-old tomboy rebel runaway may have given her the idea of creating the albino dwarf Oly in Geek Love many years later. Like Geek Love, Dunn clearly had a thing for writing about outsiders. Just tells it like it is - smelly armpits, zits, wet knickers, piss & poop and all that. It doesn't faff about about when it comes to the human body. This goes places most other writers wouldn't dare go. This is not your typical coming of age story. ![]()
