Items related to The House of God
By turns heartbreaking, hilarious, and utterly human, The House of God is a mesmerizing and provocative novel about Roy Basch and five of his fellow interns at the most renowned teaching hospital in the country. "The raunchy, troubling, and hilarious novel that turned into a cult phenomenon. Singularly compelling...brutally honest."--The New York Times Struggling with grueling hours and sudden life-and-death responsibilities, Basch and his colleagues, under the leadership of their rule-breaking senior resident known only as the Fat Man, must learn not only how to be fine doctors but, eventually, good human beings. A phenomenon ever since it was published, The House of God was the first unvarnished, unglorified, and uncensored portrait of what training to become a doctor is truly like, in all its terror, exhaustion and black comedy. With more than two million copies sold worldwide, it has been hailed as one of the most important medical novels ever written. With an introduction by John Updike

Review:
Praise for The House of God "The raunchy, troubling, and hilarious novel that turned into a cult phenomenon. Singularly compelling...brutally honest."--The New York Times "Bawdy, blistering...this is Catch-22 with stethoscopes."--Cosmopolitan "Wonderfully wild, ribald, erotic, bitter, compassionate...in the same spirit as Catch-22."--The Seattle Times "A wildly funny, sad, laugh-out-loud, frightening, outrageous, thought-provoking, moving book...a story of modern medicine rarely, if ever, told."--The Houston Chronicle "Does for the practice of medicine what Catch-22 and M*A*S*H did for the practice of warfare."--The Newark Star-Ledger "Mordantly funny, brilliantly ironic...A writer of outstanding substance and style."--Publishers Weekly (starred review)
Book Description:
The House of God is a wild and raunchily irreverent novel that teaches you the not-so-gentle arts of healing, and tells you what your doctor never wanted you to know.It is the best medicine since M*A*S*H, and does for the doctor's art what Catch-22 did for the art of war.e year award, or Molly, the nurse with the crash helmet.
