  • Open Wound, by Jason Karlawish
  • Details
  • Rooted deeply in historic fact, Open Wound artfully fictionalizes the complex, lifelong relationship between U.S. Army Assistant Surgeon William Beaumont, a frontier fort?s only doctor, and his illiterate French Canadian patient. The young trapper?s injury never completely heals, leaving a hole into his stomach that the curious doctor uses as a window to understand the mysteries of digestion. Beaumont seizes the opportunity to experiment upon his patient?s stomach in order to write a book that he hopes will establish his legitimacy and secure his prosperity. Beaumont?s desire for more wealth and prestige, personifies the best and worst aspects of American ambition as he becomes a prominent figure in Michigan?s medical past and present.
