In the space where the clinical meets the uncanny, the most human stories emerge.
Spanning a century and stretching from New York City to the Caribbean, THE LEG IN QUESTION gathers stories of people watching their minds, bodies, and relationships slip beyond their control. A woman demands the amputation of a perfectly sound limb. Two friends journey through Malaysia as one’s body becomes her fiercest battleground. A middle-aged woman uncovers her murdered sister’s private despair. A gay man dances through Washington’s debutante circuit while a nameless disease stalks the shadows.
With precision, wit, and unflinching compassion, these fifteen stories explore how medicine, mortality, and mystery intertwine, revealing how fragile, ferocious, and astonishing the human body and spirit really are.
