《Brain Drain》1-2册,作者Pierre-Henry Gomo
Certain detailssurrounding the death of Albert Einstein are so outlandish as to sound likeurban legend: namely, the theft of his brain by Thomas Stoltz Harvey, thepathologist who performed the eminent physicist’s autopsy. From thesehistorical events, Pierre-Henry Gomont concocts a picaresque road trip of a taleby turns farcical and moving, whimsical and melancholy, sweeping up in itsnarrative whirlwind the FBI, a sanatorium, neurobiology, hallucinogens,hospital bureaucracy, and romance. In his dissection of friendship and theforging of scientific reputation, the nimble cartoonist serves up a slice oflovingly rendered Americana for the ages.
阿尔伯特·爱因斯坦之死的某些细节非常古怪,听起来像是都市传说——为这位 物理学家进行尸检的病理学家托马斯·斯托尔茨·哈维盗窃了他的大脑。
