Editorial Reviews

From the Publisher

A bitter and disturbing, though often very funny, first novel with a sensibility that Dr. Strangelove fans will recognize.” —Beryl Lieff Benderly, The Washington Post Book World

“Dooling demonstrates a fresh talent for storytelling and clean, clever writing . . . His command of the medical and legal professions makes him a writer worth reading.” —Collette Bachand-Wood, Boston Sunday Herald

“A scathingly funny black comedy . . . almost impossible to put down.” —Harper Barnes, St. Louis Post-Dispatch

“Savage . . . Mr. Dooling's caricatures of self -important or senile doctors are wickedly clever.” —The Atlantic Monthly
