"In The Doctor Stories we have [Selzer's] best work and more. He has exceeded even himself." --Sherwin B. Nuland, M.D., author of How We Die
"[Richard Selzer writes of] the care of the terminal and the treatment of the frail with such vividness and a disarming awe that it is hard to imagine he has not lived through most of what he recounts."-Fitzhugh Mullan, The Washington Post Book World
"Disturbing and biting, touching and uplifting...The Doctor Stories identifies strength in frailty, rapture in healing, and meaning in the single details of everyday life." --Journal of the American Medical Association
"It is the language of sickness that Selzer puts on display with a surgeon's deliberate care....Selzer's fiction is refreshingly old-fashioned." --The New York Times Book Review
