Description: "A doctor contemplates Lenin's embalmed body; two angels flank the open chest during a heart transplant; an infant's surgery transforms into the killing fields of Vietnam: In the Surgical Theatre is a mature investigation of human darkness, fueled by a driving, sensuous syntax in an attempt to understand and heal."--BOOK JACKET.
