«La Casa de Dios» is the satirical novel by Samuel Shem, published by Editorial Anagrama in paperback (468 pages, in Spanish).
Roy Basch, a young medical graduate, recounts his internship year at a large hospital nicknamed the House of God, alongside a group of colleagues fresh out of medical school. With black humor, the novel portrays the horror, the pretense and the inevitability of illness and death, while vitality and sex force their way through.
It opens the «House of God» series by Samuel Shem and belongs to Anagrama's Compactos collection (volume 300). This edition includes a foreword by John Updike and a translation by Jesús Zulaika Goicoechea.
For readers interested in hospital life, satire and black humor, including doctors and healthcare staff.
Samuel Shem is the pen name of the American psychiatrist Stephen Joseph Bergman. His main works are The House of God and Mount Misery, both fictional but close-to-real first-hand descriptions of the training of doctors in the United States.
