    "Dr. Sam Bertolli was there when the Pericles returned to Earth. He was the first man to reach Commander Rand as--hideously disfigured and close to death--Rand staggerd off the spaceship ... From that moment, Bertolli became the only line of defense against a savage epidemic of slow and violent death. No form of life on earth seemed safe from the raw, ugly boils that signaled the beginning of the plague from space."--Book cover

    "A literary courtroom thriller about a mother accused of murdering her eight-year-old autistic son"-- In rural Virginia, Young and Pak Yoo run an experimental medical treatment device known as the Miracle Submarine-- a pressurized oxygen chamber that patients enter for therapeutic 'dives' with the hopes of curing issues like autism or infertility. When the Miracle Submarine mysteriously explodes, killing two people, a dramatic murder trial upends the Yoos' small community. The ensuing trial uncovers unimaginable secrets from that night-- trysts in the woods, mysterious notes, child-abuse charges-- as well as tense rivalries and alliances among a group of people driven to extraordinary degrees of desperation and sacrifice. -- adapted from jacket

    "It's ten years since a deadly pandemic swept the globe, and five years since the last new recorded case. Society came close to collapse, but now there's a vaccine - though not a cure - people are only dying in the usual ways. Lukas, along with several hundred other infected people, is quarantined in a camp on a mountain of Central Asia. With nothing to do, and no future to speak of, the inmates pass the time drinking, taking drugs, joining a cult, making art or having sex with whoever they can. Rebecca is a scientist who worked on the vaccine that saved the world. Having lost her partner in the years of chaos, she keeps testing the vaccine against mutations of the virus, because it seems inevitable that there will be a next time."--Publisher

    Vital Signs offers both a compelling reinterpretation of the nineteenth-century novel and a methodological challenge to literary historians. Rejecting theories that equate realism with representation, Lawrence Rothfield argues that literary history forms a subset of the history of discourses and their attendant practices. He shows in particular how clinical medicine provided Balzac, Flaubert, Eliot, and others with narrative strategies, epistemological assumptions, and models of professional authority, and he traces the linkages between medicine's eventual decline in scientific and social status and realism's displacement by naturalism, detective fiction, and modernism. Rothfield first demonstrates, in discussions of Balzac's The Country Doctor and Flaubert's Madame Bovary, that the nature of the connection between medicine and realism varies with the purpose and period of each author, even where realists unabashedly appropriate the clinical viewpoint. In Eliot's Middlemarch, however, a crisis of medical authority--provoked by emerging alternative scientific conceptions of the body and by medicine's loss of charismatic appeal as it consolidates into a profession--makes the connection between medicine and realism increasingly difficult to maintain. Zola and Conan Doyle respond by subordinating the clinical viewpoint to others in their "pararealistic" fiction, while modernists negate medicine's basic presuppositions about the body, truth, and professional authority. Pathology, Rothfield concludes, constitutes a category of social differentiation equivalent to race, class, or gender; it generates a politics of knowledge irreducible to either "policing power" or Marxist totalizing.

    Heidi, The Secret Garden, and Pollyanna are all classic "girls' books," featuring a miracle cure of an invalid character who literally gets up and walks away from illness or paralysis. Such stories were common in Victorian novels and they implicitly conveyed the idea that disability and physical suffering were punishment for wrongdoing: unruly girls could not enter womanhood unless they were tamed, and an accident was the perfect plot device for this transformation. Other characters, like Helen Burns in Jane Eyre or Beth in Little Women, were just too good to live, and died so that another character could be redeemed by their example. Lois Keith points out in this study that the temptation to either cure or kill off disabled characters has surprising tenacity. The widespread belief that a disabled life isn't a full life and that patients can cure themselves through force of will endures to the present day. In Take Up Thy Bed & Walk, Lois Keith brings her lively and observant eye to the classic books of childhood from Jane Eyre, Heidi, and Pollyanna, to modern American classics such as Laura Ingalls Wilder's Little House on the Prairie and Judy Blume's Deenie. Keith explores the recurring images of impairment and ill health in literature and asks the reader to reconsider the messages they send to a devoted young audience. This book is also a testament to the singular passion with which these books are read by younger readers and reminds us of the intensity of our own reading experience as children.

    Vital Signs offers both a compelling reinterpretation of the nineteenth-century novel and a methodological challenge to literary historians. Rejecting theories that equate realism with representation, Lawrence Rothfield argues that literary history forms a subset of the history of discourses and their attendant practices. He shows in particular how clinical medicine provided Balzac, Flaubert, Eliot, and others with narrative strategies, epistemological assumptions, and models of professional authority, and he traces the linkages between medicine's eventual decline in scientific and social status and realism's displacement by naturalism, detective fiction, and modernism. Rothfield first demonstrates, in discussions of Balzac's The Country Doctor and Flaubert's Madame Bovary, that the nature of the connection between medicine and realism varies with the purpose and period of each author, even where realists unabashedly appropriate the clinical viewpoint. In Eliot's Middlemarch, however, a crisis of medical authority--provoked by emerging alternative scientific conceptions of the body and by medicine's loss of charismatic appeal as it consolidates into a profession--makes the connection between medicine and realism increasingly difficult to maintain. Zola and Conan Doyle respond by subordinating the clinical viewpoint to others in their "pararealistic" fiction, while modernists negate medicine's basic presuppositions about the body, truth, and professional authority. Pathology, Rothfield concludes, constitutes a category of social differentiation equivalent to race, class, or gender; it generates a politics of knowledge irreducible to either "policing power" or Marxist totalizing.
