Description
The human head remains in a state of consciousness for one and a half minutes after decapitation.
In a heightened state of emotion, people speak at a rate of 160 words per minute.
Inspired by this, Robert Olen Butler wrote Severance, sixty-two vignettes each exactly 240 words in length, that capture the flow of thoughts that go through a person's mind after their head has been severed.
Here are the imagined ultimate words of famous and invented figures - Medusa, Sir Walter Raleigh, Anne Boleyn, Jayne Mansfield, and a chicken, beheaded for Sunday dinner. Following on from this, Butler addressed the question of: what goes through the mind of a person while having sex?
Turning his daring imagination to the intimate, Butler lays bare the most flagrant, personal thoughts and feelings of fifty, often surprising, couples in Intercourse.
