Morbid Anatomy San Francisco Pop-Up
In honor of the late Mel Gordon (1947 - 2018)
Tonight, join Morbid Anatomy in its first Bay Area incarnation for a night of illustrated talks on topics ranging from dystopian amusements to cursed books to flying guillotined heads, all inspired by our recent publication "Death: A Graveside Companion".
Morbid Anatomy founder and creative director Joanna Ebenstein will discuss death- and disaster-themed amusements in turn of the century Coney Island. Morbid Anatomy head librarian and programming director Laetitia Barbier will talk about the French guillotine and the trope of flying heads in the 19th century imagination. And author Richard Faulk, contributor to our "Morbid Anatomy Anthology", will present his research on curse books and tablets in the Greco-Roman World.
Copies of Morbid Anatomy books will be available for sale and signing.
Co-sponsored by the Grabhorn Institute with support from the National Endowment for the Arts.
