About this audiobook
A professor of surgery and writing at Yale, Selzer opens windows on the world of medical oddities in this collection of candid, introspective essays. His subjects are sometimes grisly but always offer tantalizing insights. Selections including Sarcophagus, Pages from a Wound-Dresser's Diary, and Love Sick reveal Selzer's boundless curiosity about medicine, life, and art.
