Description: Brain Surgeon: An Intimate View of His World by Lawrence Shainberg Lawrence Shainberg spent a year with Dr. James Brockman, the world-famous neurosurgeon known simply as the Boss. The result is a remarkable and penetrating look inside both the private world of the brain surgeon and the shadowy regions of the brain.An aneurysm ticks like a time bomb… a tumor consumes vital tissue…and the surgeon is confronted by the critical decision. He alone must lift his scalpel and attempt to save a life - and must life with himself and the consequences. Brain Surgeoncaptures the sardonic with, the massive egos, and the unsurpassed surgical skills that set this medical field apart from any other.Brain Surgeon is a story of power and passion, pressure and pain. But most of all, it is the story of a paradox, of a doctor who can compare brain surgery to looking under the hood of a car and reflect on his proximity to one of the deepest mysteries of the human mind and soul.Lawrence Shainberg is the author of the celebrated Zen memoir Ambivalent Zen as well as the nonfiction book Brain Surgeon: An Intimate View of His World. He has published three novels—Crust, One on One, and Memories of Amnesia—and his fiction and journalism have appeared in Esquire, Harper's Magazine, Tricycle, and The New York Times Magazine. He is the recipient of a Pushcart Prize for a monograph on Samuel Beckett, published in The Paris Review. Free Shipping!
