Ifyou would say you love reading about sad people not expressing theirfeelings properly, what you're really saying is that you like Canadianfiction. And one of the best recent exponents of this isdoctor-turned-author Vincent Lam, whose collection of linked shortstories, BLOODLETTING AND MIRACULOUS CURES, is one of the freshest pieces of writing released this year.

Inhis stories, Lam harnesses beautifully the power of a short story inexamining the lives of a group of young doctors. Everything is inthere: from the nervous excitement of medical exams to theheart-stopping drama of the emergency room, to the middle-aged moralquandaries of a travelling physician.
