Harold Klawans' most recent work offers a rare glimpse into the world of the physician-writer, one whose passion for sports, especially baseball, is woven throughout. He deals with the essence of Chekhov's the myth that it is possible to do equal justice to one's wife and mistress - medicine and literature (or is it literature and medicine?).
Harold L. Klawans was an academic neurologist who launched a parallel career as a writer. Klawans was born in Chicago. After graduating with an M.D. degree from the University of Illinois in 1962, Dr. Klawans became a neurologist and professor of neurology and pharmacology at Rush Medical College.
