Book Launch: Kristen den Hartog

Join us to celebrate Kristen den Hartog’s latest book, The Roosting Box: Rebuilding the Body After the First World War, a chronicle of patients and staff at a military hospital, and a fascinating account of the hospital itself, housed in a cash register factory. Long-listed for the Toronto Book Award, the story reveals war’s profound impact on ordinary people, and the medical innovations and societal changes it spurred. Copies will be available for purchase.

This event is made possible with funding support from the Canada Council for the Arts through The Writers’ Union of Canada.
