Autopsy of a Father
Praised for her “exceptional ability to narrate the heartrending lives of ordinary people” (Jean-Louis Hippolyte), deliver a “riveting page-turner” (Entertainment Weekly), and master the “art of creating a diffuse discomfort” (Marie Claire), Pascale Kramer is one of the world’s finest chroniclers of psychological disturbance and the family interior.First published in France in 2016, this novel has already been named a finalist for three prizes.Autopsy of a Father was inspired by the real-life scandal of French author Richard Millet who, in 2012, made headlines for publishing an essay in praise of Anders Breivik, the right-wing extremist who killed 77 people in Norway.Set in France, the novel addresses issues of racism and anti-immigrant sentiment rampant throughout Europe by showing how the personal becomes political.Without resorting to polemics, Kramer shows how a recognized intellectual can shift toward dark and intolerant positions, and how that can tear through the fabric of a family and society at large.

What is an autopsy?
An autopsy is a medical examination of a body after death to determine the cause of death and to gather information about any diseases or injuries that may have contributed to the person's death. It involves a thorough examination of the body, including the internal organs, to identify any abnormalities or signs of disease. Autopsies are performed by pathologists and are an important tool in understanding the circumstances surrounding a person's death and in advancing medical knowledge.
-
Can you watch an autopsy?
In most cases, autopsies are not open to the general public and are typically only conducted by trained professionals such as forensic pathologists or medical examiners. However, in some rare instances, family members may be allowed to observe an autopsy with permission from the authorities. It is important to note that witnessing an autopsy can be a very intense and graphic experience, so it is not recommended for those who are sensitive to such sights.
-
Who can request an autopsy?
An autopsy can be requested by various individuals, including family members of the deceased, law enforcement agencies, medical examiners, or physicians. In some cases, a coroner may also order an autopsy if the cause of death is unclear or suspicious. Ultimately, the decision to perform an autopsy is typically made by the appropriate authorities based on the circumstances surrounding the death.
-
How long does an autopsy take?
The length of time it takes to perform an autopsy can vary depending on the complexity of the case and the specific procedures involved. In general, a complete autopsy can take anywhere from 2 to 4 hours to complete. However, more complex cases or cases requiring additional testing or analysis may take longer. Additionally, the time it takes to complete the autopsy report and finalize the findings can also vary.

Romantic Autopsy : Literary Form and Medical Reading
Today, we do not expect a symptomatic reading to refer to bodily symptoms, or a literary dissection to be more than metaphorical.But this was not always true. In Romantic Autopsy, Arden Hegele considers a moment at the turn of the nineteenth century, when literature and medicine seemed embattled in rivalry, to find that the two fields collaborated to develop interpretive analogies that saw literary texts as organic bodies and anatomical features as legible texts.Together, Romantic readers and doctors elaborated protocols of diagnosis-practices for interpretation that could be used to diagnose disease, and to understand fiction and poetry. This volume puts essential works of British Romantic literature that seem at first to have little to do with medicine, such as the lyrics of William Wordsworth, the elegies of Percy Shelley and Alfred Tennyson, and the novels of Mary Wollstonecraft, Jane Austen, and Mary Shelley, back into conversation with emergent medical disciplines of the period -- anatomy, pathology, psychiatry, and semiology.Poems and novels, Hegele argues, were historically understood through techniques designed for the analysis of disease; meanwhile, autopsy reports and case histories adopted stylistic features associated with literature.Countering the assumption of a growing specialization in Romanticism, these practices suggest that symptomatic reading (treating a text's superficial signs as evidence of deeper meaning), a practice still used and debated today, might have originated from Romantic diagnostics.The first study of the interconnected literary and medical analytics of British Romanticism, Romantic Autopsy charts an important history underlying our own approaches to literary analysis.

-
What happens during an autopsy when someone has died at home?
During an autopsy of someone who has died at home, the body is carefully examined by a forensic pathologist to determine the cause of death. The pathologist will collect samples of tissues and bodily fluids for further analysis, and will also document any injuries or signs of disease. The internal organs are carefully examined and weighed, and samples are taken for toxicology testing to check for the presence of drugs or poisons. The findings of the autopsy are then used to provide a detailed report on the cause and manner of death.
-
Why does the autopsy take so long?
The autopsy process can take a significant amount of time due to the thorough and meticulous nature of the examination. The pathologist must carefully examine each organ and tissue in the body, documenting any abnormalities or injuries. Additionally, various tests such as toxicology screenings and histological analysis may need to be conducted to determine the cause of death. Overall, the goal of the autopsy is to provide a comprehensive and accurate understanding of the circumstances surrounding the individual's death, which requires time and attention to detail.
-
Does an autopsy necessarily exclude organ donation?
No, an autopsy does not necessarily exclude organ donation. In some cases, organs can still be donated after an autopsy has been performed, depending on the condition of the organs and the cause of death. However, the decision to donate organs after an autopsy will ultimately depend on the specific circumstances of each case and the recommendations of the medical professionals involved.
