The Tale of Raw Head & Bloody Bones by Jack Wolf (Paperback / softback, 2013)

The explosive and controversial debut vel by a major new voice in fictionMeet Tristan Hart, a brilliant young man of means. The year is 1751, and at the age of twenty he leaves home to study medicine at the great hospital of St. Thomas in London. It will be a momentous year for the intellectually ambitious Mr. Hart, who, in addition to being a student of Locke and Descartes and a promising young physician, is also, alas, psychotic. He is obsessed with the nature of pain and medically preventing it, but equally strong and much harder to control is his obsession with causing it.Desperate to understand his deviant desires before they are his undoing, he uses the new tools of the age reason and science and skepticism to plumb the depths of his own dark mind.
Profoundly imaginative, unexpectedly funny, and with a strange but movinglove story at its heart, The Tale of Raw Head and Bloody Bones is an oddly beautiful and daring vel about the relationship between the mind and body, sex, madness, pain, and the existence of God.
