As a celebration of our alumni, each month we will highlight a new book written by one of
Oxford's alumni.
Our July 2023 book is "White Hot Light: Twenty-Five Years in Emergency Medicine"
by Frank Huyler (Exeter College, 1985).
Frank Huyler is a novelist, nonfiction writer, and physician from Albuquerque, New Mexico. He has a BA in English from Williams College, an MD/MPH from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, and is a tenured professor of emergency medicine at the University of New Mexico School of Medicine. He is the author of two acclaimed nonfiction story collections about medicine, The Blood of Strangers and White Hot Light, as well as two novels, The Laws of Invisible Things and Right of Thirst. His essays, opinion pieces, and poems have appeared in many publications, and his work has been widely translated, optioned for film, and adapted into a radio play by the BBC. White Hot Light was a finalist for the Jan Michalski Prize for International Literature in 2021.
