Trying to find short stories for my Human Anatomy Book Report?

Question

Hey everyone! I have to do a book report for my Human Anatomy class. My teacher wants us to do a book report on a book with a sciency... anatomy background. It could be a short fictional story or a biography/autobiography on someone. Any ideas or good SHORT reads? The report is due next Tuesday (7/1) !!!

Answer 1

There is a book of short stories by Robert Coover called "Pricksongs and Descants."  In it, there is a positively gruesome story about cannibalism that goes into some detail on human anatomy.  It would definitely fit the bill.

Answer 2

Have you considered the Patricia Cornwall novels.  Admittedly, not short, but the passages describing anatomy and its reveations are pretty well contained.

Answer 3
