Each time protagonist Dami comes up with another one of his “great ideas,” he is instantly thwarted by his own body, overcome time and again by various, almost comical, ailments. Throughout the ups and downs of his health and the desire to find his professional calling, Dami must learn the greatest lesson of life: that it goes on.
Touching on phenomena such as the decline of the newspaper, the new poor and their struggle for employment and quality healthcare, and the gentrification of run-down neighborhoods into hipster havens, Tabarovsky’s Medical Autobiography is a book for our time.
Translated from the Spanish by Emily Davis
