Anotace
For centuries the origin of the Soul has been a source of intrigue. Upon dissection, sixteenth century anatomist Andreas Vesalius could sense a cadaver’s soul hovering, but never found it among the vital organs: inside the rib’s basket or in the stilled heart. Vesalius’ quest and his anatomical drawings of flayed bodies inspire Natalya Kulikovsky, a medical student at the University of Toronto. From her clinical gestation to amniotic memories of her soul entering then leaving her mother’s hostile womb, Natalya has also been stationed between the scientific and ethereal. Amanda Hale weaves past and present through the parallel stories of Vesalius and Natalya: where Vesalius becomes obsessed with his pursuit of the soul and Natalya, while wrestling with a dying parent and a demanding academic schedule, falls in love with Dai Ling Xiang, a talented cellist. Both spiritual and scientific, My Sweet Curiosity is a tale of lessons learned at the billowing curtain between life and death. With this release, Hale continues to prove herself as an adept observer of the Earth’s continents, cultures, and history.
