Next up on History Through Fiction: The Podcast is our very own Ron Blumenfeld, author of the historical mystery novel The King’s Anatomist: The Journey of Andreas Vesalius. In this episode we talk with Blumenfeld about the biography of Andreas Vesalius that sat on his shelves for fifty years before it finally inspired him to write his debut novel. We also chat about the challenges of studying anatomy during and before the Renaissance, the magnificent works of art included Blumenfeld’s novel, and about the risks and obstacles encountered by travelers in 16th century Europe. It was a fun, informative conversation and we think you’ll enjoy it!
