Boil water and tear up sheets, thereÕs going to be a birth. Well, the birth of a book anyway. ThatÕs one of the stories in Letters to Eileen.
Follow a doctor from acceptance to Med School through an entire career all the way to hanging up his stethescope when day is done. Along the way weÕll:
-listen to veterans tell of submarine hunting
-assist in a prison break
-teach the doctorÕs craft to fresh-scrubbed students
-hoodwink editors into publishing all sorts of nonsense
-climb the Tower of Babel and snag a few foreign language adventures
-show up overdressed in a sauna.
WeÕll nest stories in stories like so many Babushka dolls. By the time weÕre done, youÕll know why you should live in Minot, how to look at the heart from the inside, and whether itÕs a good idea to have a lit cigarette above an open gas container.
So pull up a chair, pop open a cold one, and letÕs start reading Letters to Eileen.
