"I read Luis
Jaramillo's beautiful collection in one sitting. This is a
ravishing book. I loved every word. It should be required
reading for everyone." --Abigail
Thomas
"The Doctor's Wife is like the
runaway child of Evelyn Waugh's A Handful of Dust--Luis
Jaramillo's acerbic wit and satire are rare finds in
America. Pick this up at once." --Alexander
Chee
"The Doctor's Wife is
story-writing at its best; lean, even epigrammatic, each of
these stories offers a beautifully realizedi nsight into the
life of three generations of a family in the pacific
Northwest." --Scott Turow
Winner of the Dzanc
Short Story Contest, Luis Jaramillo's The Doctor's Wife
pushes the limits of what a short story collection can
be. In stylish, intimate, and devastating short flashes,
Jaramillo chronicles the small domestic moments, tragic
losses, and cultural upheavals faced by three generations of
a family in the Pacific Northwest, creating a moving
portrait of an American family and the remarkable woman at
its center.
