Paul Craddock takes us on a journey - from sixteenth-century skin grafting to contemporary stem cell transplants - uncovering stories of operations performed by unexpected people in unexpected places. ![]() But transplant surgery is as ancient as the pyramids, with a history more surprising than we might expect. We think of transplant surgery as one of the medical wonders of the modern world. Why did eighteenth-century dentists buy the live teeth of poor children?Īnd what role did a sausage skin and an enamel bath play in making kidney transplants a reality? How did an architect help pioneer blood transfusion in the 1660's? Paul Craddock's Spare Parts offers an original look at the history of medicine itself through the rich, compelling, and delightfully macabre story of transplant surgery from ancient times to the present day. ![]() ![]() Press Play interview with Madeleine Brand for KCRW, August 2014īEYOND THAT: Wendy C.

I now know for sure I don’t want to read The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. ![]() The manga version Anne’s story made me want to read Anne of Green Gables. While adventures on rafts sounded interesting to me I found myself getting bored.īut you know what? The revelation that this story is not for me has made me want to read more Manga Classics, not less. Even if I could find a way to ignore the racism I still don’t think this would be the book for me. In the introduction we are told that Twain’s “use of coarse vernacular and racial stereotypes in this novel was intended not to endorse but rather to ridicule the racism of his day.” Despite knowing this I still hated all of the racism in this story, especially the consistent use of racial slurs. I expected I’d want to read the novel once I finished the manga version but it turns out I’m not a fan of this story. I thought this was a great opportunity to find out what I’d been missing. I read The Adventures of Tom Sawyer when I was a child but I never got around to reading about Huckleberry Finn. I absolutely loved the manga version of Anne of Green Gables so I was keen to explore some more Manga Classics. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Within an instant, the two as Jonathan Barnavelt and Florence Zimmerman cast a spell that's quite enchanting, convincingly squabbling and throwing quippy insults as though they were lifelong friends. ![]() Of course, a good deal of the film's charming zaniness and creepy gaiety comes from the witty banter of Jack Black and Cate Blanchett. More surprising still, Roth appears to have been the right pick for this adaptation of the popular 1973 children's horror mystery novel, carefully balancing some of the plot's spookier, occasionally nightmare-inducing aspects with a delightfully cartoonish charm and humor. But on the other hand, one could psychoanalyze a great deal about a filmmaker better known for his gruesome horror flicks who is now trying his hand at family-friendly fare. On the one hand, Roth's very brief cameo of the indomitable Comrade Ivan could be viewed as part of his quirky sense of humor, a little wink-wink nod to his fans watching. And if that's not weirdly unexpected enough, said director of The House with a Clock in Its Walls is would-be gore-meister Eli Roth. Arguably, the weirdest thing in a movie that features a creepy Victorian house with living furniture that behaves like pets and a pair of magically-talented, eccentric witches is seeing its director as the central hero of a 1950s children's programming. ![]() |
