Fiction & Physicians
A fascinating collection of linked essays, brief biographies, and literary reviews that relate to medicine in the context of literature. It looks at doctors writing fiction, from Nostradamus, to Oliver Wendell Holmes, to Robin Cook. The book then looks at fiction about doctors, starting with incompetent and ambitious fictional physicians such as in Tristam Shandy before moving on to heroic fictional physicians, like Doctor Zhivago. Additional chapters discuss fiction and infection, fiction and paranoia, and fictional psychiatrists. "Though he calls his ambitious work 'merely a snapshot, ' his modesty belies the collection's impressive range of surveyed authors... Will entertain literary scholars and medical students alike."--Publishers Weekly "Re-examines classic and iconic works with a keen eye, backed by thorough research in both medical and literary fields."--The Midwest Book Review, July 2013
