Plot

Richard Selzer is poet laureate of surgeons in America: a superb literary stylist who explores not only the human body, but the mind and soul as well. These essays are largely autobiographical and extend deep into emotional and medical territory commonly avoided by other writers. Dr. Selzer's work has been published in New American Review, Esquire, Harper's and other periodicals. In 1975 he won the National Magazine Award for his essays.
