This is a crazy book set in the 1930's about a homosexual entomologist and Nazi sympathizer who is also interest in eugenics. There is a present day connection to a crime scene at a collector of wartime memorabilia that is discovered by a fellow collector who suffers from trimethyaminuria. Yes, you will probably need google/wikipedia nearby if you read this book. Oh and I can't forget my other favorite character, the tiny but powerful Jewish boxer Seth "Sinner" Roach. There is something in this book to offend almost everyone if you don't keep in mind how incredibly funny it is. Favorite line, "Overstimulation of the senses means mass degeneracy."
