Olaf recommended by the staff of Powells.com!

As a big fan of Powell's bookstore (I always swing by when I'm in Portland), I was thrilled to discover that the staff have some nice things to say about Doctor Olaf van Schuler's Brain:

If Tracy Chevalier and Mary Roach got together to write a novel, Doctor Olaf Van Schuler's Brain might be the result. This book is a wonderful collection of connected short stories and a history of medicine rendered through the lives of one extended family.
