Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Verge: Stories is a collection of short fiction by American writer and teacher Lidia Yuknavitch (author of The Book of Joan). It was published in 2020 by Penguin Random House.Self-described as "a fiercely empathetic group portrait of the marginalized and outcast in moments of crisis," Verge explores the perspectives of a variety of people on the edges of society—a young girl smuggling illegal organs for transplant, an Alaskan fisherman and his naïve lover, a planetarium janitor building a miniature city out of detritus. The stories, which are often disturbing and morally complex, are interconnected by motifs and themes including trauma, identity, bodies, and sudden change. | |

Body Motifs | |
| Verge: Stories / int_58d31a8b | comment |
Body Motifs: The strangeness of body parts in unusual locations and situations is a motif in many of the stories. "The Organ Runner" in particular. Anastasia suffers a field accident where her hand is severed, and she spends six months with it sewn to her ankle to heal before it can be reattached. After her recovery, she is sold to a crew of child smugglers carrying organs for illegal transplants, where she learns to compartmentalize her own body and see each individual part in terms of its value. She also has a toy stuffed monkey, and a cruel boy cuts its hand off and swallows it to mock her.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_3'); }) | |
