"Hayes pays eloquent tribute to two masterpieces: the human body and the book detailing it."—Publishers Weekly
It's [his] gentle, inquiring approach that finally binds Hayes's somewhat disjointed Anatomy together. I wanted to hear a bit about, say, the "resurrection men" whose job it was to supply doctors up until Gray's era with fresh corpses often stolen from graveyards. But that is not Hayes's style. When we turn green, he is there to remind us to calm down. Traditionally, anatomy professors have left their mortal remains to the lab. One suspects that when his time comes, Hayes will join their ranks and this engaging book will not be his only tribute to the profession.

The Anatomist: A True Story of Gray's Anatomy
There's very little information about the Dr. Gray of Gray's Anatomy that survives, which is problematic for a biographer. There's more about Gray's illustrator, Dr. Carter, but not *that* much more. And so, to fill the pages, we get author Bill Hayes' personal life and his investigations into Gray and Carter.
Sometimes this was a good thing. Even better than good: the parts where Hayes takes and re-takes anatomy with students of different medical professions were great. I've been able to spend a limited amount of time in a cadaver lab (fortunately, not as a demonstration specimen), and appreciated Hayes' detailed view of the goings-on. But, all in all, I wasn't nearly as interested in Hayes' adventures, neuroses, and feelings as he is.
