Aleksei Motorov is the author of brilliant memoirs about working in the intensive care unit of one of the capital’s hospitals. His first work, “The Young Years of Parovozov’s Medical Assistant,” had huge success and made it into the longlist of the “Big Book” award.
In “The Crime of Doctor Parovozov,” Motorov continues telling the story of his life. His student years fell on the turbulent and hungry nineties. While still studying at medical school, he worked in all sorts of places before becoming a doctor at the 1st City Hospital. Witfully and engagingly, he describes crazy hospital routines, funny and dramatic incidents from his practice, childhood in pioneer camps at the end of the seventies, and the October coup of 93rd—when he, a doctor-urologist, had to operate on unusual patients.
