 This book is one of the strangest things I've ever read. The story revolves around a 1950s fighter pilot who crashes in the remote mountains and he's taken in by a bizarre society of hermaphrodites who are all sexually identical. The point of the book seems to be a platonic kind of utopia story that's meant to teach a lesson about the differences between men and women. There are a number of things in this book that some people might find very offensive and I'm not talking about foul language or sex I'm talking about sexism but that's a decision that you're going to have to make.
