- Kunst
Helen MacDonald deals with the dead. Fascinated by the macabre history of anatomy and dissection, her books trace the origins of industry from the villainous bodysnatchers, Burke and O’Hare, to the modern-day antics of the gruesome showman, Gunther von Hagens. Helen is intrigued by people’s response to the dead and to the bodies they leave behind and this interview was mesmerising. Helen raises many questions about death and its physical aftermath and brings to light several awful episodes in both British and Australian history. A great guest In the Book Cave.
