Articoli correlati a The Good Doctor
A powerful, taut and intense tale of a friendship overshadowed by betrayal, set against the tawdry hopes and disappointments of a post-apartheid South Africa. When Laurence Waters arrives at his new post at a deserted rural hospital, staff physician Frank Eloff is instantly suspicious. Laurence is everything Frank is not-young, optimistic, and full of big ideas. The whole town is beset with new arrivals and the return of old faces. Frank reestablishes a liaison with a woman, one that will have unexpected consequences. A self-made dictator from apartheid days is rumored to be active in cross-border smuggling, and a group of soldiers has moved in to track him, led by a man from Frank's own dark past. Laurence sees only possibilities-but in a world where the past is demanding restitution from the present, his ill-starred idealism cannot last.

Recensione:
A gripping read, laced throughout with powerful emotional truth and extraordinary vision. --Independent
One of the best and weirdest novels I have read in a long while. From the first page the reader is gripped. There are traces of J. M. Coetzee and Graham Greene but Damon Galgut is a true original. --Geoff Dyer
'Should have won the Booker.' --Norman Lebrecht, Books of the Year, Evening Standard
