Reviews
Dr. Frank Vertosick provides an amusing, insightful and honest inside view of the training of the neurosurgeon. This highly readable account of daily life on the wards shows all the humility, fortitude, and humanity that genuinely underlies this sometimes not well-understood but genuinely wonderful profession., By turns comic and tragic, this memoir...is a must-read for neurosurgeons but also of interest to most clinicians., The current and, no doubt, game-changing Complete Short Stories may not do for Purdy what Cheever's Collected Stories did for him but it will surely shake things up radically.... That roiling sound you hear off in the distance is James Purdy, at long last, joining the mainstream., This is a wonderful book about the surgeon's art--funny, scary, beautifully observed, and deeply humane., At last we have this edition of stories through which we can celebrate his talent. And through which newcomers can have the opportunity to come to know him and the fictional world that he inhabits.... The greatest beauty of this collection is that from first to last--from the juvenilia (which, admittedly, gives only a glimpse of what is to come) to his final tale, the brief and wry Adeline written when he was 92--James Purdy captivates. And that is more than reason enough to celebrate this bravura edition., Writing with humor and compassion, but without sentimentality, Vertosick shows us that neurosurgeons, those gods of the operating room, are humans, too., When the Air Hits Your Brain lets you feel the pain, grief and joy of practicing medicine. This book should be read by every medical student, doctor and present or potential patient. In other words, by all of us., The late (1914-2009) fiction writer, whose work sharply divided critical opinion from the start, receives his due with this vast but fast-moving collection of short stories.... A comprehensive overview of Purdy's themes and--yes--obsessions.
