Anne Fadiman
Description:
Winner of the National Book Critics Circle Award for Nonfiction, this brilliantly reported and beautifully crafted book explores the clash between a medical center in California and a Laotian refugee family over their care of a child--and the lack of understanding that led to tragedy.
Selected Reviews:
"[Fadiman] describes with extraordinary skill the colliding worlds of Western medicine and Hmong culture...yet she remains exquisitely attuned to the interconnectedness of things."
