From the author: "I've always been partial to Jake because he's a writer, and the idea of sacrifice for art is an old one. The phenomenon of castrati is, perhaps, one of the more extreme examples, but setting their beginning in its sixteenth century historical context when Christian asceticism was still admired, it was perhaps less extreme than moderns typically think. Expectations about life are shaped by culture. There are few absolutes. And for all its 'loopy' subject, this was an excuse to explore cultural expectations about sexuality and manhood in the best tradition of serious anthro-SF."
