PRAISE

"It's truly powerful, and acrid, and barbed, and filled with wonderful, and unexpected, turns of phrase, and above all it's shocking in its directness and understated anger and sadness and fear. In short, it's an amazing piece of writing." —Cynthia Ozick
 
"This American Jewish woman's work of magic realism tells an intimate, anguished, outraged, and ultimately triumphant tale about hysterectomy —female genital mutilation, American style. And she shares one woman's experience about what happens to orgasm after hysterectomy. Women want to know about this! They will have to read to the very end to find out." —Susan Koppelman

"Hysterectomy? You turn those fellows loose with a knife and, if you aren't careful, they'll not even leave you a gizzard" —Andrew Lytle
