Review: Katherine Dunn's 'Near Flesh' is a grim and gritty display of sinewy prose and morbid humor * Oregon ArtsWatch

The book opens with Pieces, a web of vignettes concerning the fate of amputated body parts, some surgically removed, others lost by accident or acts of violence. In the world of this story, one cannot enter heaven with a body less than fully intact, and the careful provisions that must be made for lost limbs and excised organs animate the business operations and spiritual rites of an entire small town.
