Science/medicine in literature, a favour

[Ya Sam]

Alex, try Fernando del Paso's 'Palinuro of Mexico'. It virtually teems with 
medical science, various medical topics are discussed at large on many  
pages with an unforgettable surreal twist.

Best,

Y.

>the Pynchon rocket stuff unfortunately mightn't be of too much use here,

>any advice or information you can dispense would be very much appreciated.
