Sobre este artículo
New York, New York, U.S.A.: Weinstein Books, 2007. First American Edition 1st Printing. Hardcover. New/New. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. Provocative, heartbreaking, and darkly humorous, BLOODLETTING AND MIRACULOUS CURES introduces readers to a masterful new voice in fiction. A practicing ER physician, Vincent Lam delivers a precise and intimate portrait of the medical profession in his fiction debut. These twelve interwoven stories follow a group of young doctors as they move from the challenges of medical school to the intense world of emergency rooms, evacuation missions, and terrifying new viruses. Winner of the prestigious Giller Prize, BLOODLETTING AND MIRACULOUS CURES marks the arrival of a deeply humane and preternaturally gifted writer. Fitz, Ming, Chen, and Sri are the four ambitious protagonists of Bloodletting & Miraculous Cures. They fall in love as they study for their exams, face moral dilemmas as they split open cadavers, confront police who rough up their patients, and treat schizophrenics with pathologies similar to their own. In one harrowing story set amidst the 2003 SARS crisis, which the author witnessed firsthand, two of these doctors suddenly become the patients. BLOODLETTING AND MIRACULOUS CURES invites us into a world where the ordinary becomes the critical in a matter of seconds. A formidable debut, it is a profound and unforgettable depiction of today's doctors, patients, and hospitals. BLOODLETTING AND MIRACULOUS CURES ,Lam/s first book, was awarded the 2006 Giller Prize for fiction, making him the youngest writer to ever have won this prestigious prize. New, unread, first edition, first printing, in new, mylar-protected dust jacket [Not remainder-marked or price-clipped] L167
