...journey to nowhere, Sophie caroms off a number of archetypes over-familiar to readers of the urban novel: eunuchoid males, knife-edged women's libertarians, garrulous old leftists, jittery blacks. To make Sophie's affliction even more puzzling, she is given an external symbol-a bite by a cat that may or may not be rabid. Is the plague external? Or does it lie within...

It was also tried on a 26-year-old eunuchoid male who lacked all libido and most of the outward signs of masculinity (beard, deep voice, etc.).
