Date: February 2nd, 2025 3:43 PM Author: cock of michael obama I finished reading Chad Kultgen’s Strange Animals (2015), which is a novel told from a shitlib feminist perspective (the main character is aptly named Karen) about abortion. The “hook” of the book is that Karen gets accidentally pregnant and issues a public challenge: raise $100 million from the public in which case she will have the baby and give all the money to it in a fund, or if the goal isn’t met she’ll abort the baby by the end of the second trimester. The “experiment” is meant to question to what the extent the religious right is willing to put money where their mouth is to save the life of an unborn or if instead their concern about abortion is simply about controlling a woman’s body.
Now, abortion is a topic I really don’t care much about. I think it should be legal for the first trimester and illegal thereafter; a fetus reaches viability sometime in the second trimester (the earliest surviving premie is 21 weeks). Abortion is a topic that our elites love to highlight because it distracts and wastes the time and energy of the masses without challenging their power. So I don’t like focusing on it and wouldn’t choose it as a topic of a novel to read. Here I picked it up though to continue working through Kultgen’s repertoire.
The “message” of this novel isn’t really clear; although the focus is on the perspective of Karen, it also gives paragraph-length explanations for the reproductive beliefs of dozens of other characters in the novel. The ending, which is telegraphed from a mile away, muddies the message further.
Strange Animals a well written novel like Kultgen’s others, although my favorite so far is The Average American Marriage. I like to read his works as a palette cleanser between heavier books because his writing style very easy to read. His focus is on male/female sexual dynamics and has a subtle but noticeable pessimistic, hedonistic, nihilistic streak to them.
Overall I wouldn’t really recommend this one unless you’re really interested in the author or the topic.
