Vestalin

Enya Ros, the famous beach volleyball player, collides with the net post in the World Championship final in front of millions of fans and is declared brain dead. She had bequeathed her body to science. Dr. Jürgen Dehm, the most advanced neurosurgeon in the world, seizes his opportunity: he uses his surgical robots to transplant his own brain into the head of the young woman. A few weeks later, the beautiful corpse reappears, igniting a mass adoration that borders on hysteria. Enya moves into a glass temple and serves her own divine immortality, becoming the vestal of herself. Germany's beloved corpse enters the press room. In his fourth novel, Marcus Jensen grotesquely reinterprets the Frankenstein material. This story, straddling horror and science fiction, playfully engages with the gender debate. Jensen astonishes.
