Book Description
“TRANSPLANT is not just a book about heart disease (any more than First, You Cry is just a book about breast cancer). It’s about people – and they get to you. It’s a touching, sweet, tough book – and it rings true.” -BETTY ROLLIN “I got utterly hooked – it’s Edith and Archie Bunker catapulted to greatness by an existential crisis they could never have dreamed of. A testament to the miracle of people growing, almost in spite of themselves. Very gripping and moving.” – EDA LeSHAN “TRANSPLANT is a very moving account of how a family responded to the terrible stresses of severe heart disease. If the Hurleys are the ordinary people they would seem to be, there is hope for the human race. Transplant shows that humor, courage, wisdom, and tolerance are alive and well. It’s a fine book.” – WILLIAM A. NOLEN, M.D. Philip Dossick is one of America’s finest writers. - DAVID SUSSKIND

Vincent Van Gogh: Madness and Magic
Author: Philip Dossick
Publisher: Editions Artisan Devereaux
ISBN:
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 101
Book Description
Vincent Van Gogh needs no introduction. An iconoclast to the last, an artist who challenged tradition, overturned outmoded customs, a man who relished being a bomb-thrower and expert provocateur, he was without question one of the greatest artists of all time. Madness And Magic by American author Philip Dossick contains thirty of Van Gogh’s wittiest, most profound works, harvested from a lifetime of his most radically creative years. The author’s choices range from the renowned and expected, to the obscure and disturbing. The reader may find the lean precision of Madness And Magic an astute marriage of art and poetry. Each of the thirty paintings is paired with a short original poem, a format that breathes new life into the stale, over-populated coffee-table book universe of seldom opened volumes. Turn a page. Van Gogh’s trees are not simply trees. They are strange living creatures bursting with color and touched by solar flare. The author wonders, why did Van Gogh visualize them this way? What was it about them that enraptured him so? Why did this nature lover become mystically attuned to these leafy petaled creatures? Attuned to libidinous young women? Attuned to scrofulous individuals cursed by old age and infirmity? Human nature is far too complex, and the personality of an artistic genius too enigmatic for a biographer to supply easy explanations. Instead, in Madness And Magic, Dossick has chosen to chart the course Van Gogh’s genius took, and speculate, through selection and poetry, why some of the upheavals and catastrophes in his life might have occurred along the lines they did.
