This Friday! At Observatory! Live human dissection, lecture and Book Launch by The Hollow Earth Society; full details follow. Hope to see you there!<\/p>

Suspicious Anatomy: Lecture, Live Human Dissection, and Book Launch<\/span> The Hollow Earth Society presents<\/span> SUSPICIOUS ANATOMY<\/span> Workbook No. 15: The Human Cranius<\/span> Lecture, Live Human Dissection and Book Launch<\/span> Date: Friday, July 16th<\/span> Time: 8:00 PM<\/span> Admission: $5<\/span><\/p>

\"Not since Galen’s De Elementis<\/span> has been set in ink a single compendium of medicological knowledge so extensive & practicably useful as SUSPICIOUS ANATOMY Workbook No. 15: The Human Cranius. Having intrinsic value to all persons—piratical, mysterious, upright, or otherwise—The Human Cranius<\/span> is a PEERLESS GEM of uncanny truth. If you are a living human, you should make frequent, unabashed forays into this field guide to your hideous secondary body—the cranius, an organ-matrix & carnival of fangs which is trying to destroy you even as you read this sentence…\"<\/p>

From the genre-chainsawing minds of the Hollow Earth Society (Ethan Gould and Wythe Marschall) comes “the definitive guide to the horrifying world inside you”—finally available in lush, illustrated paperback!<\/p>

In the tradition of John Hodgman, David Cronenberg, and H. P. Lovecraft, The Human Cranius<\/span> explores an alternative anatomy at once mesmerizing and deeply unsettling. Gould and Marschall ask: What do<\/span> we know about our own bodies? The answer: Very little…<\/p>

In many ways, the art and human studies of modernity have given us the keys to our unconscious minds<\/span>, but have left entirely to dry science (fixing plumbing, testing drugs) the workings of our bodies<\/span>. What does it feel<\/span> like to have guts? To face disease, age, mutation—in short, a self that is not only not whole but not even on its own side<\/span>?<\/p>

The SUSPICIOUS ANATOMY series seeks to address these physio–psychomological imbalances by producing, for your benefit, the entire unconscious of the body<\/span>, the shadow-self, in words and elaborate images.<\/p>

The official <\/span>Human Cranius book launch features a lecture, medicological film snippets, and a live human dissection. Join us!<\/span><\/p>

About the Hollow Earth Society<\/span>: For over one hundred years, the Hollow Earth Society has probed the world’s most bizarre and pertinent mysteries via an ever-mutating set of handbooks, rogue histories, and practical manuals. The Society is currently led by Colonels Ethan Gould and Wythe Marschall.<\/p>

Ethan Gould is a Brooklyn-based artist working in drawing, puppetry, writing, and video to exploit the moments when the formerly robust process of perceptual categorization snaps like the fragilest of dry twigs. A graduate of the University of Rochester, he helped to create several development programs at the American Folk Art Museum. His work has appeared in such disparate places as the Ontological-Hysteric Theater, The Assembly Theater Company, The Brooklyn Review<\/span>, Pomp & Circumstance<\/span><\/a>, and ABC’s Wife Swap<\/span>.<\/p>

Wythe Marschall is writer. A graduate of Bennington College and the MFA fiction program at Brooklyn College, where he teaches undergraduate literature, Wythe has published stories and essays in McSweeney’s Quarterly Concern<\/span>, Ninth Letter<\/span>, and elsewhere. He is the senior editor of the Atlas Obscura<\/a> and an editor of Pomp & Circumstance<\/span><\/a>, as well as a frequent reader for Electric Literature<\/span>. His thoughts on letters, postmodernity, and hip hop can be found on his website, chronolect.com<\/a>.<\/p><\/blockquote>
