Description
Critical acclaim for Doctor Pluss:
"Doctor Pluss is exceptionally well developed and emotionally compelling, connecting metaphorical description with experiences that often challenge the traditional roles of doctor and patient, linking them in unexpected ways ... Couteau is not afraid to push the literary boundaries of convention in pursuit of a different form of descriptive truth, bringing readers along in a rollicking ride through schizophrenic experience that ultimately questions the foundations of reality and perception from both sides of the therapist's couch ... His interpretations and descriptions of the schizophrenic experience are particularly astute, astonishing, and evocatively described ... Readers who choose Doctor Pluss are in for a treat. It's like One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest on steroids: a thought-provoking examination of sanity, insanity, and the crossover process that leaves readers thinking long after this therapeutic slice of life is consumed."
- Diane Donovan, Midwest Book Review (April 2020).
"Amazingly beautiful, haunting prose. It's a great book."
- Christopher Sawyer-Lauçanno, author of The Continual Pilgrimage: American Writers in Paris (City Lights), An Invisible Spectator: A Biography of Paul Bowles (Grove Press).
"Intellectual freshness, richness, and potency ... Couteau is an impressively creative writer, whom Barney Rosset urged me to review."
- Jim Feast, former assistant editor of the Evergreen Review.
