Description

The Doctor Is SickDr. Edwin Spindrift, a very ordinary lecturer in linguistics, has been sent home from Burma with a brain tumor. Closer to words than people, his sense of reality is further altered by his condition. The night before he is to be operated on, Spindrift decides shaven headed, shirtless, and penniless to postpone the surgery by escaping from the hospital. Things and people he hardly knew existed outside of his dictionaries swoop down on him as he careens

Dr. Edwin Spindrift, a very ordinary lecturer in linguistics, has been sent home from Burma with a brain tumor. Closer to words than people, his sense of reality is further altered by his condition. The night before he is to be operated on, Spindrift decides--shaven-headed, shirtless, and penniless--to postpone the surgery by escaping from the hospital. Things and people he hardly knew existed outside of his dictionaries swoop down on him as he careens through adventures in nighttime London.

Good shirts
Color: Black Diamond & Dots, Size: Large
Nice shirt. Pattern true to pictures. True to size unless you're 6'2 and you want to leave the shirt untucked, it's a bit short.

Great polos at a great price
Color: Blue/White, Size: Large
Pleasantly surprised at the quality of these shirts. A bit heavier of a fabric then I anticipated but will be perfect for spring and fall. The size (large) was in fact large. :)
