(Vice is a news and commentary website aimed at the 'Millennial Hipster' readership; i.e., sample articles include 'how to make a gravity bong', 'meet the group urging people to stop calling the police', 'the midwest is about to have a weed revolution', 'I deal with grief through extreme makeup to make people look at me', etc.)
Becky Ferreira, a science reporter for Vice, writes that hipsters and news junkies are buying up copies of a 1973 sci-fi novel called 'Space Relations' by one Donald Barr who, it turns out, is the father of our current Attorney General, William Barr.
Ferreira is quite indignant over the content of 'Space Relations' :
By far the most disgusting aspect of the novel is its fixation on sexualizing adolescents, and its depictions of rape. Even the adult characters in the book are constantly infantilized. The novel is also rife with casually unsettling observations such as: “To me, pederasty seems utterly lacking in aesthetic appeal.”
For all its faults, speculators at amazon are offering 'Space Relations' for $998.
Over at eBay, other speculators are not only offering copies for exorbitant prices, but Donald Barr's other sci-fi novel 'A Planet in Arms', also has a steep asking price.
I think I might actually have a copy of 'Space Relations' that I picked up 7 years ago. It may be in a box in my basement. I've never read it. Maybe I will now.
If you have your own copy of 'Space Relations', and you're interested in selling it for a profit, well, you may want to sign up for an account at eBay.............?!
And if you have read 'Space Relations', let us know what you thought of it...........!

Should anybody be seriously interested in reading Strange Relations, there is a scan of the pages (but not the cover) at the internet archive. It is not a very good scan, but appears to be readable. Barr was an English professor, and the novel has three epigraphs, the first of which is a 16-line passage, in German, from Wagner's Tannhauser.

Valerie Houghton could be involved. She has similar views.
Valerie Houghton has similar views on pedophilia. She says that it is okay. The justification is that “pedophilia is not a crime and part of gender identity” and that the goal is “mass produce transgender youth”. With all of her social media posts, I am surprised that she hasn’t joined Mr. Barr as book author.
You can see many of her posts here:

Another similarity is that she is associated with sex trafficking children. She did it to all of my kids, even including my daughter that wasn’t part of my divorce. Ms. Houghton said, “She’ll have fun!” and “She’ll be pregnant by the time she’s 15.”
When I tried to protect my kids, Ms. Houghton had me hacked, stalked, and assaulted. There are many other parents that have also complained about sex trafficking, physical assaults, stalking and hacking.
There is a certain type of sexual entitlement shared with Barr, Epstein and Houghton. At least in New York, that’s not tolerated. We need to put an end to this type of conduct in California and Texas.
