Review:
Dramatic, moving, and utterly fascinating. "

Riveting. "

This is a wonderful book about the surgeon's art funny, scary, beautifully observed, and deeply humane. --Ian McEwan"

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.--Ian McEwan
