Description

The Doctor Stories collects thirteen of Williams’s stories (direct accounts of his experiences as a doctor), six related poems, and a chapter from his autobiography that connects the world of medicine and writing, as well as a new preface by Atul Gawande, an introduction by Robert Coles (who put the book together), and a final note by Williams’s son (also a doctor), about his famous father.

The writings are remarkably direct and freshly true.

As Atul Gawande notes, “Reading these tales,you find yourself in a conversation with Williams about who people really are—who you really are.

Williams recognized that, caring for the people of his city, he had a front-row seat to the human condition.

His writing makes us see it and hear it and grapple with it in all its complexities.

That is his lasting gift.”
