Afterlives of the Saints, is a woven gathering of groundbreaking essays that move through Renaissance anatomy and the Sistine Chapel, Borgesâ€™ "Library of Babel," the history of spontaneous human combustion, the dangers of masturbation, the pleasures of castration, â€œand so forthâ€ â€” each essay focusing on the story of a particular (and particularly strange) saint.
