“From Operating Room to Oxygen Shortage: How a Young Doctor Discovered the Rhythm of Survival on Everest”
At first, I was startled by my friend’s reaction. Is she really knocking my suggestion? Doesn’t she know I have impeccable taste? Then again, I scarcely read fiction because real-life stories like Zieman’s are far more compelling to me — a fact that some people might find as surprising as I found my friend’s apathy.
I briefly considered buying and force-feeding the book to her but ultimately decided to change my friend’s closed mind not by coercion or voodoo, nor by Jewish guilt, trickery, or shame, but by writing this review — which, by now, felt like a personal call to action.
