Wickett's Remedy

Wickett's Remedy is a 2005 historical novel[1] by Myla Goldberg, about the 1918 influenza epidemic. It was published by Doubleday.

The novel makes heavy use of annotations, marginalia, and false documents to support its premise;[2] Goldberg has stated that Vladimir Nabokov's Pale Fire was a major influence on her in this respect.[3]
