About the Author

Dr. Lindsey Fitzharris is a New York Times bestselling author, television host, and medical historian with a PhD from the University of Oxford. A regular contributor to The Wall Street Journal, Scientific American, The Guardian, The Lancet, and New Scientist, she is known for bringing the grisly, surprising, and deeply human history of medicine to life.

Her debut book, The Butchering Art (2017), a celebrated account of Victorian surgery, won multiple literary awards, earned international acclaim, and has been translated into 20 languages. In 2021, she hosted the Smithsonian Channel series The Curious Life and Death of…, exploring some of history’s most mysterious deaths.

Her follow-up book, The Facemaker (2022), about pioneering First World War surgeon Harold Gillies, was an instant New York Times bestseller.
