Mary Roach with Gulp: Adventures on the Alimentary Canal

Colfax Avenue: Humorous science writer Mary Roach, author of the bestsellers Stiff and Packing for Mars, will discuss and sign her newest in-depth look at an unlikely subject, Gulp: Adventures on the Alimentary Canal (W.W. Norton). “Roach’s approach is grounded in science, but the virtuosic author rarely resists a pun, and it’s clear she revels in giving readers a thrill—even if it is a queasy one. Adventurous kids and doctors alike will appreciate this fascinating and sometimes ghastly tour of the gastrointestinal system.” — Publishers Weekly (starred review)
