"Richard Selzer writes what is technically fiction--short stories--but these are stories that must surely come directly from his personal experience as a veteran surgeon. He writes of transplants and amputations, the cataclysmic and the whimsical, the care of the terminal and the treatment of the frail with such vividness and a disarming awe that it is hard to imagine he has not lived through most of what he recounts. The Doctor Stories consists of two new stories and a collection of his best works drawn from his six previously published volumes. For those who haven't read Selzer, the book will be a treat. For those who have, it will be a delightful reunion."Selzer, Richard is the author of 'Doctor Stories', published 1999 under ISBN 9780312204037 and ISBN 0312204035.
