The Good Doctor

Booker Prize finalist | Shortlisted for the International Dublin Literary Prize | Winner of the Commonwealth Writers' Prize
2021 Booker Prize winner Damon Galgett enters the world literary world with his masterpiece that truly focuses on the struggle and redemption of the human soul, the inner morality and spiritual struggle. In this desolate era, innocence is a kind of mental disorder. [Editor's Recommendation]
◆The 2021 Booker Prize winner Damon Galgett has become a representative work of the world literary scene, and has been awarded many literary awards. It has been introduced into Chinese for the first time.
Damon Galgut, a South African novelist and playwright, was shortlisted for the Booker Prize three times and ultimately won it in 2021 for The Promises, becoming the third South African writer to receive the award, following Nadine Gordimer and J.M. Coetzee. He has repeatedly won or been shortlisted for the Commonwealth Writers' Prize, the IMPAC Dublin Literary Prize, and the Walter Scott Prize. He is considered a powerful force in African literature, standing alongside writers like Virginia Woolf and William Faulkner. In 2003, The Superfluous Man won the Commonwealth Writers' Prize, was shortlisted for the Booker Prize, and was shortlisted for the IMPAC Dublin Literary Prize.
The influence of JM Coetzee and Graham Greene can be seen, but Galgett's originality is pure.
—Jeff Dyer, author of "And Yet Beautiful" For formal innovation and moral seriousness, Damon Galgett has few equals. He is an indispensable writer.
—Garth Greenwell ◆ This novel captures the disillusionment of an idealist and the nihilistic confusion of a cynic. It is a relentless exploration of human nature and a humanistic concern for history and reality. In this story, both real and fantastical, we glimpse the similar predicaments we find ourselves in today's society.
*He always looks like he has a frown on his face, as if he is troubled by an eternal problem.
*Perhaps there was an event somewhere, sometime, that defined my life. But I can't find that moment.
*You come with high hopes, but reality presents you with something completely different.
Unique and niche South African literature offers a depth and sensitivity rarely seen in Europe and America. Its delicate and fluent narrative and calm, detached style capture the unrest and turmoil beneath the surface of calm.
The two male protagonists collide with each other to create amazing sparks. See how different life choices lead to similar tragedies and nothingness. Similar experiences, different outlooks on life, and superfluous people are the common annotation.
◆The cutting-edge designer Xihe teamed up with the young painter He Xiaowan to create a double cover of poetic oil paintings, which has profound meaning, low-key classic, and textured paper, bringing a high-quality reading experience.
【Content Introduction】
A deserted town, a hospital no one needs, two doctors with contrasting personalities, two eras that mirror each other. This wasn't a naturally formed city. Officials who had never set foot here sketched an outline on paper, designating it as our home. But it's a home no one has ever set foot on, and here I am, in this unwanted hospital, facing the desolate present and hopeless future with indifference. Until Lawrence arrived.
My new roommate was young, naive, and full of passion. He'd come to this remote hospital for an internship, hoping to change everything. His ridiculously naive idealism, like a finger, pierced through the weak spots in my past life, but the secrets it exposed were ones I didn't really want to know...
A book about desire, pain, struggle, and loss. A naive idealist and a cynical bystander, in this uncertain era, are both equally ridiculous and pathetic.
