It amazes me that I see all these things I describe above and none of you... none of you do. It's like living on a planet of blind painters, and I'm the only one whose noticed that you ran out of paint a long, long time ago.

"Next, a thing you need to know about his adopted daughter Sophie is that she doesn’t just have breasts. She has Dutch breasts. And Alyssa (the person Alanna was possessing at the start of the novel) doesn’t just have breasts, she has Jewish breasts. Also described as Semitic breasts. Also described as ‘feeling like warm eggplants wilting in the summer heat’ but the point isn’t that horrifying image, it’s the nationalizing of breasts. This happens throughout the novel, like we’re supposed to actually draw meaning or imagery from the distinction between Dutch breasts and Irish breasts"
"Then there’s a recurring issue throughout the book which is ‘Martin just doesn’t know what things are or how they work.’ This happens in a couple places. There’s a scene early on where the Doctor claims that there is ‘one advantage’ that women have over men, and that is in the arena of urination, as and I quote:
“You shoot out straight down like a laser beam. Men, on the other hand, spray outwards like old fashioned shotguns.” "
