Praise for God's Hotel:

“Transcendent . . . readable chapters go down like restorative sips of cool water, and its hard-core subversion cheers like a shot of gin . . . God’s Hotel [is] a tour de force.” —The New York Times

“A most important book that raises fundamental questions about the nature of medicine in our time. It should be required reading for anyone interested in the ‘business’ of healthcare—and especially those interested in the humanity of healthcare.” —Oliver Sacks, M.D., author of The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat and The Mind’s Eye
