Description
Afterlives of the Saints
is a woven gathering of groundbreaking essays that move through
Renaissance anatomy and the Sistine Chapel, Borges' "Library of Babel,"
the history of spontaneous human combustion, the dangers of
masturbation, the pleasures of castration, "and so forth" - each essay
focusing on the story of a particular (and particularly strange) saint.
