Synopsis
Two physicians in South Africa--Frank is aging, despairing; Laurence is young and idealistic--struggle to keep things going in a ludicrously underequipped hospital. The story is narrated by Frank, a classic "unreliable narrator," whose recounting of events reveals not only Laurence's mistakes but, inadvertently, his own. THE GOOD DOCTOR was shortlisted for the 2003 Booker Prize.

Publisher's Note
When young and optimistic doctor Laurence Waters assumes a new post at a deserted rural hospital, jaded staff physician Frank Eloff takes an instant dislike to the young man and faces unexpected consequences when he reestablishes a relationship with a woman and learns of a smuggler's alleged border operations. Reprint.

Industry reviews
"[T]he prose is well-paced and readable....The novel is structured with a good deal of unobtrusive expertise, and expressed in spare, tough prose that can sketch deftly the behaviour of both inanimate things and people....This eye for the particular plays a large part in Damon Galgut's achievement. It is the contradictions and strange details of his bleak landscape that lend compulsiveness to THE GOOD DOCTOR's serious concerns."
Times Literary Supplement - Sam Thompson (09/12/2003)

"In spare, declarative prose, Galgut spins a brisk and bracing story...."
New Yorker  (12/08/2003)

"THE GOOD DOCTOR is a self-consciously post-apartheid tale which also works as a quirky thriller. Slim, thoughtful and readable, it should bring Damon Galgut the international recognition that he deserves, if not the Booker Prize."
Literary Review - Steve King (10/01/2003)

"Although the epigraph of Damon Galgut's novel is taken from Chekhov, it is the ghost of Graham Greene that hovers most palpably over THE GOOD DOCTOR....Galgut, perhaps again mindful of Greene, writes taut and compelling prose. The novel is slight--barely more than 200 pages--and yet feels freighted with mystery and moment, replete with significant incident....[A] fine, unsettling novel."
Nation - Claire Messud (04/05/2004)
