SURGICAL FICTION is inspired by my life as a brain surgeon. All stories are read by me, the author.
The surgical task and the writing craft are both goal directed, cerebral undertakings. But surgery is a concrete, "right now" kind of thing, and writing is a creative, "take your time" thing. Surgery requires a rote knowledge of anatomy; writing calls up an esoteric awareness of words and grammar. Surgery is relatively quick and mentally exhausting; writing is time consuming and brain building. Surgery is a team sport (no surgeon operates alone); writing may be one of the most solitary things we humans do. And, for me at least, it is also one of the most rewarding.
