This book has only gotten better as it has 'sunk in' over the weeks since I've read it. I picked it up because I've been reading a lot about apotemnophilia (individuals with this condition seek out voluntary amputation of limbs that they don't feel belong to their body) and I'd heard mention that this fictional work touched upon it. Indeed it does, peripherally, and the characters are brilliantly written, to the point where I found I missed them when the book was done.
