Work detailsGodbody by Theodore Sturgeon (1986)
Not sure what to do with this other than to say that it totally enthralled me. The message is not exactly new (the take-away message in Christianity is the love one another bit) nor is the notion that sex is about love (or you're doing it wrong), but Sturgeon presents those ideas in a way that feels revelatory even if you agreed with his notions from the start. And the structure (each chapter is told from the point of view of a different towns-person--usually one who seemed of minor importance in the section before) is intriguing and flawless. Recommended, though note that there is a fairly large helping of (somewhat) graphic sex here (all for a purpose). (  )1   lycomayflower | Oct 25, 2010 |  Theodore Sturgeon was one of the finest writers to ever grace science fiction and fantasy, and this is his final gift to us. He spent several years writing Godbody, his final novel, in an apparent attempt at creating a masterwork. He succeeded. (  ) Eldritch_Crank | May 7, 2007 | An amazing conclusion to a magical body of work. The Sturgeon view of people and the way things work shouldn't be missed. Highly, highly recommended.
