“If I were a man, I’d be interested in fertilizing you.” Elizabeth Barber’s grandfather, who is nearly ninety, wrote an erotic novel and mailed it to her. Unsurprisingly, she didn’t know what to expect when she read the book by a man who was “way too weird”. Alongside the themes of malpractice insurance, the worthlessness of religion and the so-called tragedy that is the existence of condoms, Elizabeth unravels the truths of her own childhood and queries the influence a parent has on a child.
