Driving Mr. Albert: a trip across America with Einstein’s
brain by Michael Paterniti
When pathologist Thomas Harvey performed the autopsy on
Albert Einstein in 1955, he removed the brain and took it home. He same some
pieces of the brain away to other scientists and kept the rest in a Tupperware
container in his garage. Dr. Harvey eventually left Princeton, lost his medical
license, and ending up working in a plastics factory in Kansas. The author
tracks down Harvey, and plans a drive across the country to deliver the brain
to Einstein’s granddaughter Evelyn in San Francisco. Along the way they stop at
cheap motels, pancake houses, the home of William S, Burroughs, and visit
Harvey’s ex-wife.
