>From Amazon.com: 
Driving Mr. Albert chronicles the adventures of an unlikely 
threesome--a freelance writer, an elderly pathologist, and Albert 
Einstein's brain--on a cross-country expedition intended to set the 
story of this specimen-cum-relic straight once and for all. 

After Thomas Harvey performed Einstein's autopsy in 1955, he made 
off with the key body part. His claims that he was studying the 
specimen and would publish his findings never bore fruit, and the 
doctor fell from grace. The brain, though, became the subject of 
many an urban legend, and Harvey was transformed into a modern Robin 
Hood, having snatched neurological riches from the establishment and 
distributed them piecemeal to the curious and the faithful around 
the world. 

The brain itself has seen better days, its chicken-colored chunks 
floating in a smelly, yellow, formaldehyde broth, yet its beatific 
presence in the book, riding serenely in the trunk of a Buick 
Skylark, encased in Tupperware, reflects the uncertainty of 
Einstein's life. Was he a sinner or a saint, a genius or just lucky? 
Harvey guards the brain as if it were his own. From time to time, he 
has given favored specialists a slice or two to analyze, but the 
results have been mixed.
