This month marks two decades since the sale of my first book, Doctor Olaf van Schuler’s Brain. I will always remember how thrilling it was to see the collection out in the world. Thinking of the many people who helped make the book possible, and celebrating the collection on the anniversary of its sale. With gratitude and appreciation to readers, writers, friends, and family– everyone who played a part in this adventure. Thank you!
“An unforgettable literary experience” –Mary Roach
“Vivid and original” – Publishers Weekly
“Each story is a tasty morsel.” –Kathe Connair, Minneapolis Star Tribune
“An ingenious and appealing collection of linked stories. . . . Menger-Anderson brings a writerly order to the messiness of our minds.”
–Mark Athitakis, Chicago Sun-Times
“A fascinating kaleidoscope ride across generations of physicians and their patients.” — Vanessa Hua, San Francisco Chronicle
“Science is an elixir that sweeps characters under its spell. Yet the pace of Menger-Anderson’s book is driven as much, if not more, by the reader’s romantic appetite–by an itch to discover how each story is romantically resolved and connected to the long lineage.”
–Francesca Mari, New York Times
