Chekhov’s Lie
Harold L. Klawans, signed by author
$29.00

Harold Klawans’ most recent work offers a rare glimpse into the world of the physician-writer, one whose passion for sports, especially baseball, is woven throughout. He deals with the essence of Chekhov’s Lie: the myth that it is possible to do equal justice to one’s wife and mistress – medicine and literature (or is it literature and medicine?).

Harold L. Klawans was an academic neurologist who launched a parallel career as a writer. Klawans was born in Chicago. After graduating with an M.D. degree from the University of Illinois in 1962, Dr. Klawans became a neurologist and professor of neurology and pharmacology at Rush Medical College.
