A lavishly illustrated psychedelic adventure based on actual events around the
theft of Albert Einstein's brain.
Certain details surrounding the death of Albert Einstein are so outlandish as
to sound like urban legend: namely, the theft of his brain by Thomas Stoltz
Harvey, the pathologist who performed the eminent physicist's autopsy. From
these historical events, award-winning French cartoonist Pierre-Henry Gomont
concocts a picaresque road trip of a tale by turns farcical and moving,
whimsical and melancholy, sweeping up in its narrative whirlwind the FBI, a
sanatorium, neurobiology, hallucinogens, hospital bureaucracy, and romance.
In his dissection of friendship and the forging of scientific reputation, the
nimble cartoonist serves up a slice of lovingly rendered Americana for the
ages.
