Think about the last time you had food poisoning....This is worse.

Remember the last time you ate that shifty looking dessert and spent the next twelve hours regretting it?  Remember how it felt?  Now imagine that you're in a public place when the food poisoning makes its effects known.  A public place with one toilet stall.  If I were to be forced to describe how I felt while skimming the teaser for lkh's new book in my favorite bookstore, that would be pretty close to it.

( If lkh would have just posted her teaser online, I would have been able to suffer her literary poisoning in the privacy and comfort of my own home. )
