Reviews
BODY OF WORK is Christine Montrosss memoir of her first year in medical school, during which she studied human anatomy with the help of Eve an elderly woman who donated her remains for that purpose. Thoroughly and methodically dissecting a human cadaver is an experience that includes equal parts revulsion, fascination, empathy, and indifference. Rene Raudman touches on each of these in all the appropriate places, and with just the right level of emotion. Her tone, like Montrosss writing, is often irreverent and dryly funny, without ever being disrespectful. The author interview at the end gives an added glimpse into the anatomy lab.
