What is the connection between God and East Sheen? How do you talk your way out of an Albanian jail? Why do dictators love to make comic books? How does a missed penalty-kick lead to a bloody war? Theodore Dalrymple, a psychiatrist who gives expert witness in murder cases, has a passion for sideways thinking. In The Pleasure of Thinking he takes us on a witty and erudite voyage along the hidden pathways that bring ideas together. At once light-hearted and enlightening, it is an amusing flight of the imagination in which we discover the happy accidents that befall those who remain endlessly curious.
Theodore Dalrymple currently gives expert psychiatric assessments in murder trials. Previously he worked as a doctor in Africa and the Gilbert Islands. Upon his return to England, he worked as a psychiatrist and GP in a prison hospital in the Midlands, and the East End of London. He is a regular contributor to, among others, The Times, Telegraph and the British Medical Journal.
