BOOK REVIEWEDOn Seeing: Things Seen, Unseen and Obscene

by F. Gonzalez-Crussi

Overlook/Duckworth: 2006. 224 pp. $24.95/£14.99

Frank Gonzalez-Crussi is a pathologist, well versed in how we see, although here he focuses on what we see, and on what, for obscure reasons, are rejected by eye and mind. This disportment in art and medicine is rewarding thanks to the power of the writing to carry the reader safely to "things seen, unseen and obscene".
