The Website of Cristin O'Keefe Aptowicz
Cristin is absolutely thrilled that her forthcoming nonfiction book, DR. MÜTTER’S MARVELS, has received a prestigious starred review from Kirkus Reviews, “long considered the book industry’s most ferocious trade publication” (Washington Post). The review raved, “In her deftly crafted narrative, the author provides an absorbing account of the charismatic surgeon’s life and career as well as a vivid look at the medical practices and prejudices of his time. His students adored him, and the disfigured flocked to him… Aptowicz draws nicely on Mütter’s speeches and lectures to reveal the depth of his empathetic philosophies and humanist approach… Mütter’s healing work inspired former students, from the celebrated Civil War surgeon Jonathan Letterman to the pharmaceutical manufacturer E.R. Squibb. His life story will move many readers.” The Kirkus Star is one of the most prestigious designations in the book industry, used to help readers “discover books of exceptional merit.” To read the full review, click here.
