My Take
Mary Roach is one of my favorite kinds of writer: the one who runs toward the subjects everyone else flinches from. Cadavers, the afterlife, sex, life in space, the digestive tract, she treats them all with relentless curiosity and a wicked sense of humor. With multiple New York Times bestsellers, she has proven that science writing need not be solemn to be serious. What I love is her honesty about her own morbid fascination; she invites readers to be as nosy as she is. She turns squeamishness into wonder, and that, to me, is a genuinely rare gift.
