Doctor Pluss (Third Revised Edition)

<p>Critical acclaim for <em>Doctor Pluss</em>:</p><p>"<em>Doctor Pluss</em> is exceptionally well developed and emotionally compelling connecting metaphorical description with experiences that often challenge the traditional roles of doctor and patient linking them in unexpected ways … Couteau is not afraid to push the literary boundaries of convention in pursuit of a different form of descriptive truth bringing readers along in a rollicking ride through schizophrenic experience that ultimately questions the foundations of reality and perception from both sides of the therapist's couch … His interpretations and descriptions of the schizophrenic experience are particularly astute astonishing and evocatively described … Readers who choose <em>Doctor Pluss</em> are in for a treat. It's like <em>One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest</em> on steroids: a thought-provoking examination of sanity insanity and the crossover process that leaves readers thinking long after this therapeutic slice of life is consumed."<br />– Diane Donovan <em>Midwest Book Review</em> (April 2020).</p><p>"Amazingly beautiful haunting prose. It’s a great book."<br />– Christopher Sawyer-Lauçanno author of T<em>he Continual Pilgrimage: American Writers in Paris</em> (City Lights) <em>An Invisible Spectator: A Biography of Paul Bowles</em> (Grove Press).</p><p>"Intellectual freshness richness and potency ... Couteau is an impressively creative writer whom Barney Rosset urged me to review."<br />– Jim Feast former assistant editor of the <em>Evergreen Review</em>.</p>
