Michael Paterniti
Driving Mr. Albert: A Trip Across America with Einstein's Brain
Arthur M. Sackler Museum, 485 Broadway
Part travelogue, part memoir, part history, part biography, and part meditation, Driving Mr. Albert is one of the most unique road trips in modern literature -- the story of Paterniti and Dr. Thomas Harvey journey to return Albert Einstein's thought-to-be-lost brain to his granddaughter. Inspired by the man who gave a skeptical world a glimpse of its cosmic origins, this extraordinary writer weaves his own unified field theory of time, love, and the power to believe in eternity.
