Guillotines, Mary Shelley and the likelihood of resurrecting David Bowie were hot topics on the Health Sciences Campus recently as award-winning author John Corey Whaley discussed his recent novel\u00a0Noggin<\/em>, a finalist for the National Book Award.
\nMore than 50 people attended the Jan. 25 Visions and Voices event, held at Aresty Auditorium on the Health Sciences Campus. The discussion, titled \u201cWhat We Can Learn From A Severed Head,\u201d was part of USC\u2019s arts and humanities initiative and co-sponsored by the Keck School of Medicine of USC\u2019s Program in Medical Humanities, Arts, and Ethics; the USC Pacific Center for Health Policy and Ethics; and the USC Levan Institute for Humanities and Ethics.
\nWhaley read an excerpt from the novel and then spoke about his inspiration for the book during a conversation with Lynn Kysh, a clinical and research librarian at the USC Norris Medical Library.
\n\u201cI wanted to write a novel like (Kurt Vonnegut\u2019s)\u00a0Slaughterhouse-Five<\/em>, a book that makes you laugh so hard you\u2019re crying on one page, and then the next you\u2019re actually crying,\u201d he said.
\nNoggin<\/em>\u00a0tells the story of a 16-year-old terminal cancer patient who volunteers for a cryogenics experiment, where his head is removed from his body and frozen, then reattached to a donor\u2019s body five years later. While Whaley said he did some research into current cryogenics experimentation to write the novel \u2014 and hopes such a procedure can someday bring back the recently deceased musician David Bowie \u2014 he did not intend to explore the medical aspect of the procedure.
\n\u201cI\u2019m not a scientist and this book is not about science,\u201d he said. \u201cIt\u2019s about humanity. I wanted to write about what it\u2019s like to be out of sync with people you love.\u201d
\nThe novel also indirectly addresses the ethics of such a procedure, as Whaley said he wanted the story to focus on personal repercussions of the experiment, relating it to Mary Shelley\u2019s classic novel\u00a0Frankenstein; or The Modern Prometheus<\/em>.
\n\u201cNoggin<\/em>\u00a0is very closely related to\u00a0Frankenstein<\/em>,\u201d he said. \u201cWill the main character of this book ever exist the way that existence was intended to feel? Certainly for Frankenstein\u2019s monster, that\u2019s the struggle. What he learns is that he will always be a freak and Travis (Noggin<\/em>\u2019s main character) can be seen as a cautionary tale, too.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n\n
