So interesting.
It's about this hermit janitor who, it turns out, had written and illustrated this massive fantasy novel. About little girls. With penises. (This is a fairly minor thing, but one that everyone really jumped on it.) They're slaves and there's a whole war and obvious Christian overtones.
It's fascinating and unsettling. And bizarre.
Also, the Dakota Fanning narration? Fascinating and unsettling. And bizarre.
