Günter Grass's 'Local Anesthetic' certainly has a dental theme. Be quite a challenge. Words shaped by mouth, drills and suction tubes inserted into that sort of foyer to the mind...
I have a story featuring a dystopian dentist called “mouths” at @lightspeedmagazine.com
Dentists and plumbers keep showing up in my short fiction, the insides of things fascinate me 🦷
it’s definitely NOT the great american novel but whenever i think of a dentistry book i remember McTeague and that giant golden molar he wants to hang outside his dentist office
