Mary Roach and Gulp

Mary Roach stops by Strand to celebrate the paperback release of her latest book. Having already explored the strange worlds and weird science behind death (Stiff, Spook), sex (Bonk) and space (Packing for Mars), Mary returns with her latest examination of the fringes of science. Gulp takes readers on a tour of the alimentary canal, from the mouth on down.

Delving into such questions as the real importance of saliva, how much you can actually eat before you burst, and whether or not constipation can really kill you, Gulp is surreal, funny and imminently informative.

Mary discusses her writing and answers audience questions.
