Product Description

by Joyce Carol Oates (Author)

«La escritora m?s ingeniosa, brillante, curiosa y original del momento .-Gillian Flynn

En esta historia basada en hechos reales, Joyce Carol Oates sigue los pasos de un m?dico que en el siglo XIX someti? impunemente a una gran cantidad de mujeres a operaciones grotescas para as? poder publicar sus investigaciones. El doctor Silas Weir, conocido a posteriori como el padre de la neurolog?a y de la «ginopsiquiatr?a , se obsesiona en esta novela con una de sus pacientes, Brigit, una joven sirvienta albina que se convierte en el principal sujeto de sus experimentos y en la semilla de su destrucci?n. Narrada por el hijo mayor de Weir, que ha repudiado el legado brutal de su padre, Carnicero se asoma al horror al que la comunidad cient?fica ha sometido las mujeres a lo largo de la historia y deambula por las galer?as m?s oscuras de la psique humana, mientras trama al mismo tiempo una esperanzadora historia de amor.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

From one of our most accomplished storytellers, an extraordinary and arresting novel about a women's asylum in the nineteenth century, and a terrifying doctor who wants to change the world

In this harrowing story based on authentic historical documents, we follow the career of Dr. Silas Weir, "Father of Gyno-Psychiatry," as he ascends from professional anonymity to national renown. Humiliated by a procedure gone terribly wrong, Weir is forced to take a position at the New Jersey Asylum for Female Lunatics, where he reigns. There, he is allowed to continue his practice, unchecked for decades, making a name for himself by focusing on women who have been neglected by the state--women he subjects to the most grotesque modes of experimentation. As he begins to establish himself as a pioneer of nineteenth-century surgery, Weir's ambition is fueled by his obsessive fascination with a young Irish indentured servant named Brigit, who becomes not only Weir's primary experimental subject, but also the agent of his destruction.

Narrated by Silas Weir's eldest son, who has repudiated his father's brutal legacy, Butcher is a unique blend of fiction and fact, a nightmare voyage through the darkest regions of the American psyche conjoined, in its startling conclusion, with unexpected romance. Once again, Joyce Carol Oates has written a spellbinding novel confirming her position as one of our celebrated American visionaries of the imagination.
