A young man has a horrible motorcycle accident. He wakes up in the hospital to discover that one of his arms has been amputated. Then a portrait on the wall of his hospital room begins to speak to him. The subject of the painting introduces himself as Ambroise Par- the French barber-surgeon who revolutionized the art of amputation. From this wonderfully absurd premise- the two begin an imaginary conversation that takes them through a sweeping history of surgical amputation- from the Stone Age to the Space Age. Unencumbered by pathos or didacticism- this graphic novel explores the world of amputation- revealing fascinating details about famous amputees throughout history- the invention of the tourniquet- phantom limb syndrome- types of prostheses- and transhumanist technologies. Playfully illustrated and seriously funny- The Body Factory is sure to delight anyone interested in the history and future of medicine and how we repair – and even enhance – the body.
