The book at a glance
Why do people like Gregory House? Because he’s cynical, misanthrope, sociopathic, caustic, a drug addict, ironic, nasty. In a word: a lovely asshole. But he’s (nearly) always right, and he saves people’s lives. This book is a tribute to a programme that is already a myth. The questions dig in episode’s plots, the cast private lives, the connections with showbiz and literature, the medical cases and their ethical, philosophical implications.
What do Sherlock Holmes and Dr. House have in common? Who took the decision that lead to House’s limping? Why did he become a doctor?
