Michael Taussig, "The Nervous System." The online reviews are mixed. It seems interesting. Has anyone here read it? John McCreery perhaps?

I forgot, for a moment, that I could sign into Amazon and read pages. Perhaps the sample I reached was not representative, but from an interesting premise--white folk going back to Darien to try to find noble and part-white, presumably quasi-Scottish savages--he makes an uninteresting stew. As Roseanne Roseannadanna used to say, "Never mind."
