Abraham Verghese, MD, MACP, is Professor for the Theory and Practice of Medicine at the Stanford University School of Medicine and Senior Associate Chair of the Department of Internal Medicine.

Born of Indian parents who were teachers in Ethiopia, he grew up near Addis Ababa and began his medical training there. When Emperor Haile Selassie was deposed, he completed his training at Madras Medical College and went to the United States for his residency as one of many foreign medical graduates. Like many others, he found only the less popular hospitals and communities open to him, an experience he described in one of his early New Yorker articles, The Cowpath to America.

From Johnson City, Tennessee, where he was a resident from 1980 to 1983, he did his fellowship at Boston University School of Medicine, working at Boston City Hospital for two years. It was here that he first saw the early signs of the HIV epidemic and later, when he returned to Johnson City as an assistant professor of medicine, he saw the second epidemic, rural AIDS, and his life took the turn for which he is most well known ? his caring for numerous AIDS patients in an era when little could be done and helping them through their early and painful deaths was often the most a physician could do.

His work with terminal patients and the insights he gained from the deep relationships he formed and the suffering he saw were intensely transformative; they became the basis for his first book, My Own Country : A Doctor's Story, written later during his years in El Paso, Texas. Such was his interest in writing that he decided to take some time away from medicine to study at the Iowa Writers Workshop at the University of Iowa, where he earned a Master of Fine Arts degree in 1991. Since then, his writing has appeared in The New Yorker, Texas Monthly, Atlantic, The New York Times, The New York Times Magazine, Granta, Forbes.com, and The Wall Street Journal, among others.

Following Iowa, he became professor of medicine and chief of the Division of Infectious Diseases at Texas Tech Health Sciences Center in El Paso, Texas, where he lived for the next 11 years. In addition to writing his first book, which was one of five chosen as Best Book of the Year by Time magazine and later made into a Mira Nair movie, he also wrote a second best-selling book, The Tennis Partner : A Story of Friendship and Loss, about his friend and tennis partner?s struggle with addiction. This was a New York Times' Notable Book.

Marion and Shiva Stone are twin brothers born of a secret union between a beautiful Indian nun and a brash British surgeon. Orphaned by their mother’s death and their father’s disappearance, bound together by a preternatural connection and a shared fascination with medicine, the twins come of age as Ethiopia hovers on the brink of revolution.

Moving from Addis Ababa to New York City and back again, Cutting for Stone is an unforgettable story of love and betrayal, medicine and ordinary miracles—and two brothers whose fates are forever intertwined.

读后感

医生天然与文学相通? 以我的阅读经验,通常这样一本大部头的小说,很难得一开始就进入吸人眼球的戏剧性阶段,往往要先进行铺陈,慢慢展开,等读者充分了解人物个性,事件随时间酝酿到高峰期,这时才会让读者读得津津有味,爱不释手了。但这部小说一开始就颇具戏剧性,甚至...

很悲伤的故事,令人心痛。“我用一生在寻找的,其实早已失去。”这句话很好地阐述了这个故事。如果没有曾经的背弃和追寻,就没有最终的悔悟与救赎,生命所追求与抗争的仿佛永远是荒谬的悖论。好厚一本书,五百多页,好久没有看过这么厚的书,但是很值得,一遍读完仿佛经历了一...

喜欢这种有悬念的故事,书很厚,但一气读完,很感人,也很有哲思。世界上总有一个人,跟我们是一体的,也许是至亲,也许是爱人,也许是默然相伴的朋友,失去他们,我们也不再完整。《斯通,与另一个斯通》把这痛写得很透,让人感觉心里抠得慌。喜欢的人自然喜欢,无须多说。

真心被这本书虐惨了,大量医学专业词汇和印度,埃塞俄比亚等国家的宗教,风俗用语,让我开始时差点放弃。幸好坚持下来,因为后半部分的情节实在太赞。双胞胎,一个聪慧超群,不走寻常路;一个天资平平,循规蹈矩。他们间的爱与恨,恋人间的忠诚与背叛,父子间的隔阂与接纳……都交织在跌宕的情节中。人有时要用生命为自己的过错赎罪,对方接受之时,也正是其失去之刻。早晨在地铁里看到结尾时,眼睛不自觉地湿润了。

故事好看,人物刻画出色,语句优美,引人深思。对于一本成功的小说,我们还能多要什么呢?

Approaches medicine from a spiritual perspective, and ultimately portrays it as a sacred calling, a romantic yet deleterious undertaking.
