Richard L. Gordon

    Richard Gordon, pseudonimo di un chirurgo e anestesista inglese, ottenne fama per una serie di romanzi comici incentrati sulla pratica medica. Le sue prime opere, ambientate in un fittizio ospedale universitario di Londra, erano caratterizzate da arguzia e da un'apparente visione autobiografica del mondo medico. I romanzi successivi incorporarono maggiori allusioni sessuali e farsa, contribuendo alla loro grande popolarità. Oltre alle sue narrative di finzione, Gordon fu anche autore di accessibili storie della medicina e di altri argomenti vari, stabilendo una diversificata eredità letteraria.

    • Richard Gordon's life was moving rapidly towards middle-aged lethargy - or so he felt. Employed as an assistant in general practice - the medical equivalent of a poor curate - and having been 'persuaded' that marriage is as much an obligation for a young doctor as celibacy for a priest, Richard sees the rest of his life stretching before him.Losing his nerve, and desperately in need of an antidote, he instead signs on with the Fathom Steamboat Company. What follows is a hilarious tale of nautical diseases and assorted misadventures at sea.Yet he also becomes embroiled in a mystery - what is in the Captain's stomach remedy? And more to the point, what on earth happened to the previous doctor?

      Now Dr Grimsdyke is qualified he finds practising medicine rather less congenial than he anticipated. But the ever-selfless Grimsdyke resolves to put the desires of others (and in particular his rather career-minded cousin) before his own, and settle down and make the best of it. Finding the right job, however, is not always that easy. Porterhampton is suddenly rife with difficulties - as is being a waiter, as is being a writer. And writing obituaries is just plain depressing. Doctor in Clover finds the hapless Grimsdyke in a hilarious romp through misadventures, mishaps and total disasters

    • Richard Gordon s acceptance into St Swithan s medical school came as no surprise to anyone, least of all him after all, he had been to public school, played first XV rugby, and his father was, let s face it, a St Swithan s man . Surely he was set for life. It was rather a shock then to discover that, once there, he would actually have to work, and quite hard. Fortunately for Richard Gordon, life proved not to be all dissection and textbooks after all! This hilarious hospital comedy is perfect reading for anyone who s ever wondered exactly what medical students get up to in their training. Just don t read it on your way to the doctor s!"
