To those who're still upset about the frogs, a welcome retreat into the balmy territory of high literature. Thanks to the BBC's Newsnight for alerting me to this latest tour de force:

And then some very sticky moments. Wetlands is a first novel which has sold half a million copies since its publication in Germany. Written by the High Wycombe-born star of German TV Charlotte Roche, and now out in English, it is a voyage around her 18-year-old character's private parts. Throughout the story Helen prods, pokes, smells and inserts implements into her nether regions in her hospital room where she is recovering from a serious accident after shaving around her haemorrhoids. Is it porn, or a feminist tract?

IMPORTANT UPDATE: As he notes in the comments,

fledgist has found a short translated passage from this masterpiece online. This is far too significant a discovery to be buried among the comments -- hence this update. Thanks, F!
