The story comes across as a summary of the changing of individual's viewpoints as decided by their involvement, or lack thereof, with a certain topic or focus and how others can affect that positioning. I found Dave's story from big, beastly, tattooed bouncer to art gallery guard as a parallel journey for him physically as to his mental shift from the Nipple Jesus being a work of art, to a disgusting and offensive piece of pornographic media based crap, to once again being beautiful in its existence.
My main difficulty with the story was what exactly was the main focus of Hornby. Was it the perspective of the art for Dave, how it caused him to delve in to the consideration of his past and how family affected his life choices, or how he took a self-motivated journey away from the dangerous bouncer scene to that of a guard and the result of his actions? I want to say that it is the culmination of each of these 'mini journeys' but I'm not entirely sure.
