Quick query on behalf of my dad, before I post the last bit of Eight Crazy Nights. He writes:

I once (within the past decade) read a "science fiction" novel -- I guess that's the genre -- in which an important plot theme was this:  A person needing money sold a small body part, and prospered, but also found the sale altruistically satisfying.  So, part by part, he sold off major body parts, to the point where he was reduced to a torso and head carried around by his close friend.  In the end, a recipient of one of the body parts invents a technique for perfectly replacing lost body parts, so the donor is at the book's end restored to a full complement of body parts, mostly "artificial."  Now, here's the question:  Have you a clue about how to identify the novel?  I googled "science fiction plots donation body parts" and didn't get anything useful in the first four or five screens.  Is there a listserv/blog to which I might submit an inquiry?  Any other thoughts?

Can anyone help?

Eight Crazy Nights, Old school edition

Tell It Slant

Rating: NC-17
Classification: XAR (remember that?)
Notes: Set somewhere around the sixth season; peels off before Biogenesis, because I wrote Deny Nothing so long ago. Most of this story is ten years old. I wouldn’t have written Deny Nothing today, nor this, but Deny Nothing is out there—like the truth, I guess—and azephirin asked for “a month after Deny Nothing.” I found this on my computer, so it seemed like a reasonable thing to do to finish it up. Thanks to flourish for lightning-fast comments.
