A nice mention of THE ANATOMIST, just published in paperback, in the New York Times Book Review today:  "Henry Gray, the man behind Gray's Anatomy (he had the help of a fellow doctor who created the drawings), became Hayes's obsession.  He finds out as much as he can about Gray's life--not easy, because Gray died at 34 and left no diary or letters--and enters the dissection lab himself, where his first incision feels like cutting "a soft piece of leather."  (Bellevue Literary Press, $16.95)
