It also includes a new preface by Atul Gawande, an introduction by Robert Coles (who put the book together), and a final note by Williams’s son (also a doctor), about his famous father.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe writings are remarkably direct and freshly true. As Atul Gawande notes, “Reading these tales, you find yourself in a conversation with Williams about who people really are—who you really are. Williams recognised that, caring for the people of his city, he had a front-row seat to the human condition. His writing makes us see it and hear it and grapple with it in all its complexities. That is his lasting gift.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46998681354476,"sku":"9780811228176","price":28.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/22665723482476.jpg?v=1763226343","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.live\/products\/the-doctor-stories-by-william-carlos-williams-9780811228176","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
