《Brain Drain》1-2冊,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.
