MY SECOND UNIVERSITY by Stanciu Stroia with Dan Dusleag,

I received this in my e-mail today and thought I'd pass it along.

Dear Librarians,

My name is Michael Kempt, M.D., and I would like to make you aware of a title I recently read, My Second University: Memories from Romanian Communist Prisons (ISBN # 0-595-34639-1), authored by two physicians, which has received excellent reviews in the local press and radio, and has won several awards, including the 2006 Writers Notes Award:

MY SECOND UNIVERSITY by Stanciu Stroia with Dan Dusleag

This is a memoir that speaks across the breadth of human experience, and compels attention to the age-old questions of oppression, betrayal and endurance. It is a narrative with a special relevance, bringing a new angle—that of a medical doctor and a fine observer of human frailty—to the prison literature.

I believe that this book is worthy of medical library distribution, and that yours should be no exception.

Thank you for considering my suggestion!

Michael Kempt, M.D.

It's way outside the scope of my small paediatric orthopaedic library, but perhaps you all might consider it for yours.
