I knew he’d written something but hadn’t realised it described, amongst other things, children in cages having sex with bears. I had pictured politics and spy stuff, a sloppy plot, etc.
At age ten the madam put the child in a cage with a bear trained to couple with young girls so the girls would be frigid and not fall in love with their patrons. They fed her through the bars and aroused the bear with a stick when it seemed to lose interest.
Predictably, in the comments, someone asks: How do they get away with it?
I wonder...*snark*
