- Bill Hayes is the author of three acclaimed works of narrative nonfiction, Sleep Demons: An Insomniac’s Memoir; Five Quarts: A Personal and Natural History of Blood; and his latest book, The Anatomist: A True Story of Gray’s Anatomy. His essays and articles have appeared in The New York Times Magazine, Details, and The Threepenny Review, among other publications, and he has been featured on many NPR programs. “Bill Hayes has an unusual set of skills,” a critic for the New York Times has observed, “he is part science writer, part memoirist, part culture explainer.”

The anatomist : a true story of Gray's anatomy por Bill Hayes
Interesting but do not read it to find out about Gray of Gray’s anatomy. There is very little of him in here. There is a lot on the artist/ doctor who illustrated the anatomy. That is interesting. Then there is the containing story, in which the author audits an anatomy course, and, according to him… out dissects all the other students. All in all… an entertaining read
Okay so I'm upset only because I thought this would be a history about excerise and not a memoir about why a specific man exercises. I'm learning that there is a very big difference between "a history of" and "the history of". I tried reading this in December 2023.
A devastatingly beautiful book about the early stages of the pandemic, as seen through the eyes of a writer and photographer in New York City. It's heartfelt, moving, poetic, heartbreaking and incredibly important.
Note: I accessed a digital review copy of this book through Edelweiss.
