The Phantom Museum: And Henry Wellcome’s Collection of Medical Curiosities by Peter Blegvad
My rating: 3/5 cats
so this is a collection of (mostly) fiction based on this one crazy man’s collection of all things medical and bodily. i wanted it only because of the blegvad because i heart book of leviathan like crazy. and it’s fine—the images are great—artificial limbs galore and a delightful shrunken head. but some of the stories (and there are only 6) are eh. the a.s. byatt one i hated, truly. the blegvad is good, but i just think it is cute that he has a milk obsession. it makes him even more charming. i would love to have this collection in my house. so—someone—get on it. sigh…i mean, get on it, please.
