Review "David Watts is a gifted storyteller with a sense of the poetic, macabre, ironic, and surreal. Acting like a doctor, as he counsels himself, carries the risk of arrogance. Being a doctor demands a profound and grateful openness to the unknown. They are a welcome addition to the growing body of literature from the experience of medicine. Watts's sympathy for both physicians and their patients subtly changes our understanding of what it means to heal and be healed, and to put our trust in the hands of a practitioner who is just as complex, flawed--and human--as we are.
