There he meets David Smith, a medical student recovering from drug addiction, and the two men begin a tennis ritual that allows them to shed their inhibitions and find security in the sport they love and with each other. This friendship between doctor and intern grows increasingly rich and complex, more intimate than two men usually allow. And just when it seems nothing more can go wrong, the dark beast from David's past emerges once again. As David spirals out of control, almost everything Verghese has come to trust and believe in is threatened. Compassionate and moving, this is an illuminating story of how men live, and how they survive.--From publisher description. 600 10 $a Verghese, A. $q (Abraham), $d 1955- 650 0 $a Physicians $z El Paso $z El Paso $v Biography. 650 0 $a Male friendship $v Biography. 941 $a 3 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231021013052.0 952 $l TKPE492 $d 20211118013929.0 952 $l GDPF771 $d 20170418073000.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=DC6BAA26FBCE11DEB3E93EDF5F36B428 994 $a 02 $b JIUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
