TRENT READS Bloodletting & Miraculous Cures
After a public defence of three short-listed books and a week-long online voting period, Trent students, faculty and staff have selected Vincent Lam’s Giller Prize-winning book, Bloodletting & Miraculous Cures, to be read by all new Trent students as part of Trent Reads 2013.
“I encourage everyone at Trent to readBloodletting & Miraculous Cures”, said Jocelyn Aubrey, associate dean of undergraduate studies and chair of the Trent Reads committee. “As every good book should, this one draws you into the lives of the protagonists and you feel as though you have come to know and understand them very well by the time you finish the book. The challenges, excitement, frustrations and pain experienced by four medical students as they become full-fledged physicians provide a rich basis for the many conversations that I hope to have with others at Trent, especially our new students arriving in the fall.” To help members of the Trent community choose their favourite book, a Battle of the Books was held at Trent on February 27, during which audience members listened to three champions defend their choice for the book new students will read and talk about in September 2013. |
