Book Review

‘The Knife Man’ not for the faint of heart By Lauren McLane Sentinel Newsroom lmclane@cumberlink.com

I have an almost pathological obsession with medical history. Of my more than 500 books, at least 100 of them relate to science and medicine. I want to know how things work and how people figured out how things work. I am devoutly thankful that blood-letting is no longer the medical go-to for all ailments from poison ivy to cancer, a debt of gratitude I owe to John Hunter, the father of modern surgery. In her book, “The Knife Man: Blood, Body Snatching, and the Birth of Modern Surgery,” biographer Wendy Moore eloquently tells the story of John Hunter, the ec-

centric Scot who changed everything we know about medicine and the human body. Hunter, who rose from the ranks of surgeon to physician — in Georgian England, surgeons were mere butchers who cut off diseased limbs willy-nilly, while physicians were more learned and refined (or so they liked to think) — turned the medical establishment on its head.

Autopsies Part of what Hunter did that so horrified the medical community was to perform autopsies, both in an effort to find out why people died, but also to find out how they worked in the first place. In an era when physicians were still basing their work on Galen’s “four humours”

theory of bodily functions, Hunter was a voice crying in the wilderness. “Conflict was inevitable. Hunter’s dogged determination to question accepted doctrines, his fascination with innovation and experiment, and his commitment to founding surgical practice on sound scientific principles were anathema to his fellow surgeons at St. George’s,” Moore writes on page 157. The more he did autopsies, the better he got at them, and the better he got at them, the more people asked him to do them. By doing them, he was able to deduce that digestion occurred not by heat or muscle pulverization but by acid within the stomach itself.

Gritty Moore’s book is not for the faint of heart — or of stomach. It is gritty, gory, and very, very graphic. Hunter was a proponent of vivisection, the practice of performing surgery on living beings (such as dogs) without anesthesia. He was obsessed with the macabre and the bizarre, and kept skeletons and taxidermied animals in his house. He tried to cross-breed various species in an effort to see both what happened and

whether such interbreeding was possible. After fitting his dying brother with a catheter — in itself a relatively new medical procedure — Hunter then spent the last 10 days of his brother’s life dispassionately recording the dying man’s death. Hunter kept copious notes, which were maintained after his death by his assistant at great personal and political price. It wasn’t until nearly a century after his death that his contributions were fully

acknowledged. Immediately after his demise, his enemies paid a muck-racking journalist the then-unheard-of sum of 400 pounds to write a damning biography of the man, which served as the touchstone until the late 19th century. Through the work of Hunter’s students and family and now Moore, his legacy has been preserved, his contributions to science recorded, and his place among the medical greats assured.

In this film image released by Open Road Films, Elizabeth Olsen is shown in a scene from “Silent House.” perienced. But the film’s dexterous cinematographer, Igor Martinovic, is just as much of a star behind the lens. In this Americanized version of the Uruguayan film “La Casa Muda,” Olsen stars as Sarah, a 20-something woman helping her father (Adam Trese) and uncle (Eric Sheffer Stevens) fix up the family’s longtime, dilapidated summer home in hopes of selling it. The place is boarded up from the inside, so it’s pitch black even in the daytime, and anyone walking around must carry a lantern or flashlight to see where they’re going. This

is crucial to creating a sense of tension and fear: We all feel like we’re wandering around in the dark together. Kentis and Lau, who previously directed the stripped-down, 2004 hit thriller “Open Water,” offer an unsettling vibe from the beginning. It’s clear that something disturbing has gone on here; in particular, the conversations between Sarah and her uncle are just a bit off in tone. A long-lost friend (Julia Taylor Ross) shows up with fond memories of playing together as little girls — but strangely, Sarah can’t even place her. So it’s no shocker that

Sarah quickly comes undone in this claustrophobic setting as her paranoia escalates. It could happen to any of us, and here’s a young woman who seems a bit shaky and lost already. Still, she reacts with relatable instinctiveness as things go from bad to worse, her breath creating a rhythmic soundtrack as she scampers through hallways and up and down stairs, trying to find a way out. “Silent House” features several genuine scares and giggle-inducing jumps — and, since this isn’t your typically over-edited contemporary horror movie, they don’t feel screechy

or cheap. One sequence, in which the flashes from a Polaroid camera provide a room’s only light, offers a tantalizing, mounting feeling of fear. But once the ultimate twist is revealed, you may find yourself feeling frus-

trated — or even disgusted — rather than frightened. “Silent House,” an Open Road release, is rated R for disturbing violent content and terror. Running time: 88 minutes. Two and a half stars out of four.

Book Review

By Lauren McLane

Sentinel newSroom lmclane@cumberlink.com

I have an almost pathological obsession with medical history. Of my more than 500 books, at least 100 of them relate to science and medicine. I want to know how things work and how people figured out how things work. I am devoutly thankful that blood-letting is no longer the medical go-to for all ailments from poison ivy to cancer, a debt of gratitude I owe to John Hunter, the father of modern surgery. In her book, “The Knife Man: Blood, Body Snatching, and the Birth of Modern Surgery,” biographer Wendy Moore eloquently tells the story of John Hunter, the ec-

centric Scot who changed everything we know about medicine and the human body. Hunter, who rose from the ranks of surgeon to physician — in Georgian England, surgeons were mere butchers who cut off diseased limbs willy-nilly, while physicians were more learned and refined (or so they liked to think) — turned the medical establishment on its head.

autopsies

Part of what Hunter did that so horrified the medical community was to perform autopsies, both in an effort to find out why people died, but also to find out how they worked in the first place. In an era when physicians were still basing their work on Galen’s “four humours”

theory of bodily functions, Hunter was a voice crying in the wilderness. “Conflict was inevitable. Hunter’s dogged determination to question accepted doctrines, his fascination with innovation and experiment, and his commitment to founding surgical practice on sound scientific principles were anathema to his fellow surgeons at St. George’s,” Moore writes on page 157. The more he did autopsies, the better he got at them, and the better he got at them, the more people asked him to do them. By doing them, he was able to deduce that digestion occurred not by heat or muscle pulverization but by acid within the stomach itself.

Gritty

Moore’s book is not for the faint of heart — or of stomach. It is gritty, gory, and very, very graphic. Hunter was a proponent of vivisection, the practice of performing surgery on living beings (such as dogs) without anesthesia. He was obsessed with the macabre and the bizarre, and kept skeletons and taxidermied animals in his house. He tried to cross-breed various species in an effort to see both what happened and

whether such interbreeding was possible. After fitting his dying brother with a catheter — in itself a relatively new medical procedure — Hunter then spent the last 10 days of his brother’s life dispassionately recording the dying man’s death. Hunter kept copious notes, which were maintained after his death by his assistant at great personal and political price. It wasn’t until nearly a century after his death that his contributions were fully

acknowledged. Immediately after his demise, his enemies paid a muck-racking journalist the then-unheard-of sum of 400 pounds to write a damning biography of the man, which served as the touchstone until the late 19th century. Through the work of Hunter’s students and family and now Moore, his legacy has been preserved, his contributions to science recorded, and his place among the medical greats assured.

Let’s just get something out of the way off the top: “Silent House” creates the illusion that it’s a haunted-house thriller crafted in one long, continuous shot. The camera follows Elizabeth Olsen around a creepy, creaky lake house that’s under renovation and we’re right there with her for every bump, jump and thump of her heart. This isn’t exactly the case, and husband-andw i fe d i re c to rs C h r i s Kentis and Laura Lau acknowledge as much — they actually pieced together several long takes to create one seemingly seamless feature-length film, a process that must have required a great deal of planning, choreography, breath-holding and prayer to pull off in its own right. But once you realize that what you’re watching is a trick — albeit one that’s beautifully executed from a technical standpoint — with a final twist that’s really a gimmick, its novelty loses a bit of its luster. Still, Olsen always makes the movie watchable. She has to — she appears in nearly every single frame — and the fact that she’s dressed in a flimsy, cleavage-baring T-shirt and frequently photographed from above doesn’t hurt. Following her star-making performance in “Martha Marcy May Marlene,” which yours truly picked as the best film of 2011, Olsen continues to reveal a startling comfort and maturity in front of the camera for someone so young and relatively inex-

Politician tries to cheat, but... in OMP farce

Fill your weekend with music

The comedy “Out of Order,” offers actors at Oyster Mill Playhouse a chance to polish their British accents. By Barbara Trainin Blank

Whoever said “politics makes strange bedfellows” may have had Ray Cooney’s “Out of Order” in mind. Except in this case, it’s would-be bedfellows — and politics are sort of beside the point. In this British farcical comedy, Conservative Government MP Richard Willey is attempting to have an affair with one of the secretaries of the Opposition leader in a posh London hotel. But there are obstacles — from their angry spouses and a bungling secretary to a private detective and even a dead body. The comedy, which was written in 1990 and premiered in England, is now offering actors at Oyster Mill Playhouse a chance to polish their British accents and keep up a very fast pace. The pace is definitely farcical. But Tom Moore, who is directing the show, says

Mike Stubbs, left, and Debbie Coffee, rehearse a scene on Tuesday night from the upcoming Oyster Mill Playhouse production of “Out Of Order.” that Cooney doesn’t agree with the view of farce as a “style of comedy marked by broad humor and extravagant wit,” and “ridiculous,” as a dictionary might define it. “Basically, Cooney believed that the best farce are tragedies,” Moore wrote in his Director’s Statement. “The plot line... should be able to be transplanted into a stark tragedy... and even

the dialogue of farce should be interchangeable with that of tragedy.” In both tragedy and farce, the individual is faced with overwhelming forces and usually also suffers because of his own character flaws and his inability to control them under stress. “There is absolutely no difference between a man discovering his wife in bed with his best friend in a

Harrisburg. Neither is like Jane. “I always had done musicals, but then had a problem with my (singing) voice,” she says. “I wanted to audition for straight plays but saw that many of the shows at community theaters here required British accents, and I was afraid I’d make a fool of myself if I tried one.” Finally, she got up the courage and was surprised to be cast as a 20-something. “But I have a youthful persona,” Coffee laughs. More likely to cause her discomfort is the skimpy

tions willing to take any part, but was pleasantly surprised to land Richard. “He’s the ultimate politician,” the actor says. “He puts his spin on everything and is very loose with the truth. But everything he does is blatantly obvious.” In fact, Stubbs notes, the MP doesn’t learn anything by the end of the play. Having looked for a fling because “that’s something he does,” the character certainly changes less than does his hoped-for liaison partner, Jane.

farce, and a man discovering his wife in bed with his best friend in a tragedy,” Moore adds, along Cooney’s thinking. And, as it relates to this particular play, he says, “It’s a tragedy when people have an affair, but then that snowballs into lie after lie after lie and gets so out of hand.” If farce is close to tragedy, that probably puts it more in the comfort zone of Mike Stubbs, who plays the MP. Most of the 30 or so shows he has done fall into the drama category. “That is my first love,” he says. “But I have to admit I’m growing to love comedy.

Music is music

Digital age allows for more mixing of music genres Everyone has a preference for one type of music over another. Our tastes change and adapt as we get older. Growing up, the punch line that I heard every time someone told me the kind of music they liked was, “everything but polka and country.” I grew up liking everything. Because I played a musical instrument, I eventually came to enjoy not only playing band and orchestral literature, but I was able to enjoy it as a listener.

This ability to listen to everything and find value in all genres is a skill that can be developed. No one is forcing you to listen to the complete works of Eminem, but what would happen if you listened to an artist or two in a genre you’re not familiar with? If

you don’t listen to classical music, what would happen if you attended a local performance… and liked it? The more I read, both in books and online, the more I’m realizing that genre distinctions are no longer as important as they once were. In the digital age, people are exposed to a wider range of music and even if we can’t discuss everything we hear in technical terms, it gets us listening in a new way. This way of listening and exploring fits me, so I

welcome it with open arms. What about you? Why limit yourself to one genre? I’m a classically trained flutist, but that doesn’t stop me from envisioning myself someday jumping into bluegrass or improvisation. I like to simply say that, “music is music.” When we release ourselves from the framework of genres or attitudes that one kind of music is better than another, we open ourselves up to endless possibilities.

Monkees to memorialize Davy Jones Associated Press

The three surviving Monkees aren’t planning to attend Davy Jones’ funeral because it would likely bring too much unwanted attention to his family during their time of grief, the group’s Micky Dolenz said Tuesday. He and fellow Monkees Peter Tork, and Michael Nesmith have talked of attending one of the memorials that Jones’ family is planning to hold in New York and in the late singer’s native England, Dolenz said. And he added he’s considering organizing a memorial himself for Jones’ friends in Los Angeles. Whether the surviving Monkees would perform at any of the gatherings, or at any other time in the future, is an open question. “The three of us, Mike and Peter and I, we have never worked together just as a threesome. Mostly it was Peter, David and I and then Mike would join us,” Dolenz said of the band’s periodic

This 1966 photo shows The Monkees, singing group. reunions over the years. “We’ve been talking, we’ve been communicating, but it’s way too early, I think, to project or predict anything like that.” A private family funeral will take place in Florida this week, Jones spokeswoman Helen Kensick said Tuesday, declining to give any further details. Planning for a family service in England and a public memorial in the U.S. were still under way.

Dolenz said he wasn’t surprised by the outpouring of public affection for Jones that followed his death from a heart attack last week at age 66. The youngest member of the group, Jones played the role of the heartthrob in the made-for-TV band that shot to fame in 1966 with the “The Monkees” television show and such hit songs as “Daydream Believer” and “Last Train to Clarksville.” “You know, that show and those songs touched so many millions of people all over the world for so many years,” Dolenz said. “I can’t tell you how many times someone has come up to me in a mall and said, ‘I just got to tell you, you made my childhood.’” And Jones, he said, was pretty much the lovable character he played on TV. “What you saw is what you got,” Dolenz said. “He was very much a song-and-dance man, life of the party, always telling jokes, always on, an entertainer and just a great guy to be around.”

outfit Jane wears during most of the play. “And my brother and his family are coming to see it,” she says. “I keep telling myself I’m an actress.” Unlike Richard, Jane is interested in an affair because she and her husband are having “bedroom issues.” He hires a detective, setting some of the commotion in motion. Moore has directed both comedy and tragedy. His last staging effort at Oyster Mill was “The Effect of Gamma Rays on Manin-the-Moon Marigolds,” about a dysfunctional family. With a cast he’s pleased with, Moore says the biggest challenge to directing “Out of Order” relates to the set. “The technical stuff is a little tricky,” he says. Without giving away too much, he’ll just say a falling window and a closet door are involved. One human challenge — at least early in the rehearsal process — is the need for the actors to stop themselves from laughing at the lines. “The first few weeks we broke up at certain places,” says Stubbs. “Then, as we discover little things about our characters, that brings out even more laughter.” By opening night, it is expected the laughter will be limited to the audience. Also in the cast are Jorge Augusto; Marte Engle; Teresa Heagy; Paul Kanner; Jim Rudy; Hugh Scott; Jeff Wasileski; and Stephanie Via. Cooney, who started his theatrical career as an actor and continues to perform, is a master of farce. His other comedies include “Run for Your Wife!” and “It Runs in the Family.”

So put away your smart phones, tablets and laptops for the March 14 return of the annual Zembo Shrine Circus. Held in Zembo Shrine Center Auditorium, 2801 N. Third St., Harrisburg, the circus is celebrating its 65th year with 10 shows March 14 through 18. Parking for all shows is free, and general admission is $12. Group discounts are available, and certain shows are offering $5 tickets for students and scouts. Fo r t i c ke t i n fo r m a tion call 236-7241 or visit www.zembo.org.
