According to the exhibit explanation: "Between 1961 and 1970, Roth created about fifty 'literature sausages.' To make each sausage Roth followed a traditional recipe, but with one crucial twist: where the recipe called for ground pork, veal, or beef, be substituted a ground-up book or magazine. Roth mixed the ground-up pages with fat, gelatin, water, and spices before stuffing them into sausage casings." Apparently, he used both materials that he loved and hated, everything from tabloids to Karl Marx. "Roth turned literature into a metaphorical object for intellectual consumption and physical subsistence."2016-06-27T17:48:05+00:00monthlyhttps://docwithpen.org/2016/06/10/year-1-thats-all-folks/2016-06-10T21:19:22+00:00monthlyhttps://docwithpen.org/2016/06/09/celebrate/https://docwithpen.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/rotation-schedule.pngRotation schedulehttps://docwithpen.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/champagne.jpgChampagne2016-06-09T15:18:10+00:00monthlyhttps://docwithpen.org/2016/04/30/some-memorable-firsts/https://docwithpen.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/ij-mannequin.jpgIJ mannequinThis image (which I found online) shows exactly what we did - use an ultrasound machine to place a needle in the internal jugular vein.2016-04-30T14:08:46+00:00monthlyhttps://docwithpen.org/2016/04/14/you-say-toe-may-toe-i-say-toe-mah-toe-you-say-satin-i-say/https://docwithpen.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/still-night-five-satins.jpgStill-Night-Five-SatinsThe Five Satins: The doo-wop band famous for "In the Still of the Night."https://docwithpen.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/statins.jpgstatinsThe Five Statins: Drugs that help reduce cholesterol.2016-04-17T21:32:09+00:00monthlyhttps://docwithpen.org/2016/04/13/spring-break-just-in-time/https://docwithpen.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/img_0787.jpgIMG_0787Standing among the redoods in Muir Forest.https://docwithpen.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/img_0785.jpgIMG_0785Far-off view of the Golden Gate Bridge through an old, decaying military building.https://docwithpen.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/img_0782.jpgIMG_0782Not sure what this thing is, but it's cool graffiti!https://docwithpen.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/img_0779.jpgIMG_0779Help!
