Anatomies of Rapture: Clitoral Politics/Medical Blazons

Harvey discusses Federico Andahazi's 1998 historical novel "The Anatomist." In this fictional re-creation, anatomical discovery reduces women to beings whose sexuality is contained within a bit of flesh "not much larger than the head of nail," a kind of radical synecdoche.
