Séance de dédicace : Philippe Redon

A young doctor, battling the medical establishment, embarks on a world tour as unusual as it is political. But his knowledge will bite the dust in the face of the diversity of worlds he encounters. From Afghanistan to Ethiopia, war, bureaucracy, and the fickleness of appearances will play comical, absurd, and tragic tricks on him. With merciless self-deprecation, he will renounce medicine until his final showdown with it, in a striking reversal of roles. A sweeping portrait of an extraordinary journey, this exhilarating autobiographical account is carried by a finely crafted, witty, erudite, and profoundly human style.
