It's fairly plain I've read this differently from some others. I read rawness and lust... worship even... frightening, dark sexual ugliness, but didn't read it as misogyny (or non-consentual?).
The one line I felt uncomfortable with was the African boy at a trough of meat bit. Okay, starvation is a recurrent feature in that continent, but it's a bit of a generalisation. Bit like the discomfort I feel at Plath's use of the "n-word".
