Review:

" [A] compelling first book of fiction. ... It adds up to a running start at a high-voltage literary career." -- "Toronto Star" " Bloodletting & Miraculous Cures radiates the confidence you expect from a man whose other job is to make stalled hearts start. The advantage of fiction? Here, even the medical failures come to life, vividly." -- "The Globe and Mail" " Bloodletting & Miraculous Cures is a satisfying, engrossing read, partly because of the intrinsically fascinating subject matter, but also because of Lam's patient characterizations and understanding of the human heart." -- "National Post "" There's no information like inside information, and Lam puts his to good use ... [his] fiction strikes a balance between clinical and emotional detail. . . . [An] impressive first book, by all appearances." -- "The Ottawa Citizen " " Vincent Lam crafts sentences that veteran writers will covet. His fresh and stunning talent will satisfy all readers who hunger for powerful stories." - Wayson Choy, author of All That Matters "From the Hardcover edition."
