Smiling at everyone's comments.

Update on Goodbye, Testicles: I researched it a bit more, and looks like the book was originally titled "Goodbye, Tonsils," until some clever designer had their way with the book cover and posted it on the Internet.

Hopefully the author, Anne Welsh Guy, has a sense of humor...

bye bye!

ultimately rejected book description written for Amazon while I was sick:

"Why does daddy get to keep his testicles if I have to give up mine?" Do questions like this keep you up at night analyzing the deepest corners of your own existential angst? Anne Welsh Guy takes on the tough questions with her seminal postmodernist novel "Good-Bye Testicles." You may remember Anne Welsh Guy from her groundbreaking symbolist novel, "By the Sea" and her antistructuralist masterpiece "Cub Scout Donny" but it will always be her canonical anti-enlightenment lacanian critique "Good-Bye Testicles" that she is most famous and well known for. Illustrated by graphic mastermind Frank Vaughn, illustrator of such greats as the surrealist nightmare novel "Tom and the Zoo" as well as the genre smashing psychedelic underground anti-cogito comic series "The Teenage Small Boat Stories."
