Annotation
Examines the neurological and psychological aftereffects of Jake’s wound, concentrating on the phenomenon of phantom limb sensation on his conflicted sexuality. Anesko argues that Jake’s phantom member can experience stimulation, thus leaving him in a bisexual limbo, unable to satisfy Brett but more accepting of a relaxed masculinity that opens a range of new kinds of masculine intimacy.
