Virtual Book Club: House of Open Wounds

Virtual Book Club: House of Open Wounds Online

Fantasy literature often incorporates elements of magical healing into its worldbuilding, and Adrian Tchaikovsky’s House of Open Wounds is one of the most striking examples of this. Set in the front lines of an imperial war machine, this fantastical tale follows the exploits of the army’s medical unit, a band of misfits united by the fact that they belong nowhere else.

Join us for a discussion of how early modern medicine often makes use of what we might term magic and how the world of Tchaikovsky’s novel draws on very real medical concepts.
