Walking Practice by  Dolki Min

Walking Practice

Dolki Min

This is a surreal and shocking read, as funny as it is gory and not for the faint of heart! This wittily crafted queer novel comments on gender roles, identity and sexual power as a shape shifting alien uses humans to quell their appetites for sex and food. The violent physicality of the book exposes how sex and gender are weaponised, while its humour demonstrates how perverse this reality is.

Extract

I hurriedly inspect this female body for defects. It’s the ideal body he had described in his profile - down to the letter. I’ve got to make sure it’s a body sure to get him rock solid, a body he’ll want to splatter with buckets of cum. In this moment, it’s imperative that I am the perfect woman for him, at least corpreally. The Hunter must know the nature of their prey better than anyone else.
