"The anatomist is the allegry of curiosity. He is the invador of private spaces... By repute he is one down in the socail hierarchy from the barber-surgoen and two down from the gossip-mongering midwife... is it surprising that contemporary fiction in the forensic lab gives a specail life to the Anatomist? He is commonly a misanthropc philosopher, or a laughing melancholic, or a most common-sense atheist, or all three, and we understand perfectly well why that should be."
Peter Greenaway, 100 allegories to Represent the world. (Merrel Holborn Pubishing 1998)
