Cutting for Stone: Abraham Verghese


Amazon

I don’t know who recommended this, but I downloaded the sample when someone told me about it. Its a great book. it’s a saga, maybe sentimental, interesting because of its depth about Ethiopia and medicine. One reviewer called it ‘ecstatic realism’. Anyway I loved it. I’d hate the movie, I imagine it would be a manipulative tear jerker. The book transcends that.

It’s hit a new high. I see & hear & about 100 times the talk of self publishing books, and books on demand than even 6 months ago. (Later: checked out my hunch) And I buy self published books! Got the sample of this one, will buy it if I like it.

Kim Hill has a discussion with Kate De Goldie & Laura Kroetch on ebooks, (not much on self publishing though).

Some snippets follow, managing to cut and paste them via sharing with Twitter – I hate that I can’t cut and past from Kindle.

By ROSA CUKIER available here:

Here on Lulu

Soi far I’ve read the first few chapters and she has an excellent description of various perspectives on Psychodrama au deux. (as I prefer to call it. I had a thin blue book with that title, where is that?)
