Welcome to the LitCharts study guide on Patrick Ness's The Knife of Never Letting Go. Created by the original team behind SparkNotes, LitCharts are the world's best literature guides.
Monsters of Folk. Patrick Ness has clarified that his 2010 novel Monsters of Men has no relation to the indie folk band Of Monsters and Men, who debuted around the same time. Ness did, however, title his novel The Crane Wife as a partial tribute to the album of the same name by the indie folk band The Decemberists.
Differing Viewpoints. Transgender issues can be controversial among British young adult fantasy novelists, but Ness is a vocal supporter of trans rights.
