A Very Strange Road Trip
This is a lighthearted memoir of a road trip involving Einstein's brain in a tupperware bowl, tucked in the trunk. I kept wondering how you might explain that to the authorities if you were unlucky enough to be pulled over while driving! There are several colorful characters that are weaved into the story, but I found myself imagining Harvey like an eccentric old neighbor. You know... the kind where they are just odd enough that nothing really surprises you anymore, where they lean towards 'funny' rather than 'scary'. The stories of the controversy surrounding the fate of the brain can be quite amusing. If you think the kids will argue over who gets the prized trinkets, would you go so far as to think they'd argue over who gets your brain after you're gone?
