I need help in realigning my expectations for A Certain Hunger?

I picked up A Certain Hunger because many have raved about it, comparing it to American Psycho, Lolita and Hannibal Lecter. I loved American Psycho and loved watching the Hannibal TV series. But I am struggling through A Certain Hunger!

I was hoping for delectable descriptions of food or murder. But instead I have learned 20 alternative words for penis and cunt and plenty of ways to describe sex, 95 pages in. I had to stop when I read >!Italy's existence, a peninsula that juts like Europe's tasty cock into the briny twat of multiple oceans!< because what are we even on about at this point?

I feel like I'm missing some important context that makes everyone love this book. I'm wondering if me not being American is the reason why I don't enjoy the book as much since I don't have much context on the food review industry that this aims to satirize? Or the fact that in my culture we might not talk about sex as openly?

I really want to enjoy this book. I need to know if I can change my perspective on how I'm reading it to understand it better.

Is it possible being nightowl is a genetic trait?

I've always been a nightowl, even as a baby, even as I was growing up, even until now at 28. I'd be able to sleep at 2-3am, sometimes later and still wake up early and functioning.

So my boyfriend has been recently upset at how late I sleep. I tell him that it's always been this way no matter how many times I try to "fix" it.

Is there any studies on this I may be able to read up on?

Best place to find Nasi Lemak Rendang Kerang?

When I was a kid I used to follow my mom to work and we would buy nasi lemak rendang kerang from a gerai tepi jalan in Bangsar. The gerai no longer exists.

Does anyone know of a place that still sells this? (not sambal kerang, rendang)
