|  | Lost in America by Sherwin B. Nuland
Acclaimed medical writer Sherwin B. Nuland writes about his growing up in the East Bronx in the 1940s, and about his father, Meyer Nudelman, a deeply disappointed and angry man. Sherwin managed to escape his family`s malevolent grip by getting accepted at Yale Medical School, but the subsequent depression was debilitating--and, ever since, Nuland has tried to understand his father as a way of understanding himself. This book--long in the making--is the result. AUTHOR: Sherwin B. Nuland
