- Voyeurism w/ fangs—literally predatory POV
- Hollywood satire meets hunger & surveillance
- Queer longing refracted through animal consciousness
- Absurdist structure defies every novel rule
If Big Swiss taught you anything, it's that the most fascinating protagonists lurk on the margins, obsessing over humans they can never quite become. Open Throat delivers exactly that voyeuristic thrill—a queer narrator whose raw longing and razor-sharp observations dismantle wellness culture and urban pretension with the same merciless wit Beagin brought to therapy-speak. The hunger here is literal and metaphorical, and neither apologizes.
Hoke's prose moves like Beagin's—compact, caustic, turning the grotesque into something achingly intimate. Expect messy desire, ethical quicksand, and zero interest in tidy resolutions or mainstream comfort.
The hunger here is literal and metaphorical, and neither apologizes.
