Colin Dickey - Afterlives of the Saints

Colin Dickey reads from Afterlives of the Saints ($24.95), a collection of groundbreaking essays that move through Renaissance anatomy and the Sistine Chapel, Borges’ "Library of Babel," the history of spontaneous human combustion, the dangers of masturbation and the pleasures of castration. Each focuses on the story of a particular (and particularly strange) saint.

Colin Dickey is the author of Cranioklepty: Grave Robbing and the Search for Genius. His fiction and nonfiction have appeared in Lapham's Quarterly, Cabinet, TriQuarterly, and The Santa Monica Review. He is also coeditor of Failure! Experiments in Aesthetic and Social Practices.
