This novel tells of a young
man’s attraction and ultimate
addiction
to skunk musk, and the social difficulties he encounters
as a result.
He longs to find an isolated utopia where he can experience
his
addiction in peace, but he is thwarted by all, including
a young
woman who understands his skunk fetish because she
has a fish
fetish.
