Doctor Sleep by Madison Smartt Bell
Madison Smartt Bell is one of the most versatile and gifted authors of his generation, a literary stylist with few peers. Doctor Sleep, one of his best novels, is a taut and satisfying psychological thriller planned to be released as a major motion picture under the title Hypnotic. Adrian Strother is a hypnotherapist who, paradoxically, can't get to sleep. He plies his trade in a depressed section of London, doing the occasional job for Scotland Yard, which brings him into contact with an unsavory drug trafficker. As little girls become the target of a serial killer, Adrian treads the line between tortured wakefulness and surreal sleep, and the gifts of his insomnia are called upon to unlock the secrets of a man who believes he has discovered the key to immortality. Part spiritual pilgrimage, part thriller, Doctor Sleep is witty, menacing, and deeply satisfying, a bravura performance by one of today's finest writers.Madison Smartt Bell is the author of twelve novels and two short story collections. Soldier's Joy, Dr. Sleep, Ten Indians, and Save Me, Joe Louis are among his works. All Souls' Rising, his seventh novel, was a National Book Prize and PEN/Faulkner Award finalist. Bell is a professor of English at Goucher College and the director of the Kratz Center for Creative Writing. He and his family live in Maryland.
