Description: "Aset's uterus is starving and rises upwards like a hungry fish. Baktre takes a potion. Made of tar from the wood of a ship. Corinna, cat cabbage. Drink cabbage juice, Corinna." "Hysterical historia. Historical hysteria. Drawn from medical sources ranging from ancient Egypt to the present, The Hysterical Alphabet tracks centuries of malady, heartily disproving the theory that time heals all wombs."--book jacket.
