Résumé

A lavishly illustrated psychedelic adventure based on actual events around the theft of Albert Einstein's brain.

Certain details surrounding the death of Albert Einstein are so outlandish as to sound like urban legend: namely, the theft of his brain by Thomas Stoltz Harvey, the pathologist who performed the eminent physicist's autopsy. From these historical events, award-winning French cartoonist Pierre-Henry Gomont concocts a picaresque road trip of a tale by turns farcical and moving, whimsical and melancholy, sweeping up in its narrative whirlwind the FBI, a sanatorium, neurobiology, hallucinogens, hospital bureaucracy, and romance.

In his dissection of friendship and the forging of scientific reputation, the nimble cartoonist serves up a slice of lovingly rendered Americana for the ages.

Auteur

Pierre-Henry Gomont (auteur, Illustré par)

Born in 1978, Pierre-Henry Gomont pursued various professions, including some years as a sociologist, before becoming a graphic novel author. He took his first steps as a creator in 2010 by participating in the collective volume "13m28," published by Manolosanctis, to be followed in 2011 by his first full volume, "Kirkenes" (Les Enfants rouges), written by Jonathan Châtel. In parallel, he began writing and illustrating another book, "Catalyse" (Manolosanctis), followed by a quick succession of other works, including "Rouge karma," "Les Nuits de Saturne," and the award-winning "Pereira prétend," with publisher Sarbacane. In 2018, Gomont completed "Malaterre," a rich and immersive graphic novel published by Dargaud (Europe Comics 2019).
