From the jacket flap
." . . a fascinating and sensitive look at body modification subcultures and the political debates surrounding them."-Patricia Clough, author of "Autoaffection: Unconscious Thought in the Age of Teletechnology "
"The book refreshingly moves the arresting figure of the extreme body modifier out of the realm of the pathological and the masochistic and reveals how these practices and their disturbing embodiments challenge the tyrannical concept of normalcy that keeps the rest of us narrowly in check."--Rosemarie Garland-Thomson, Emory University
