520    "Phoning Home is a collection of entertaining and thought-
       provoking essays featuring the author's quirky family, his
       Jewish heritage, and his New York City upbringing. Jacob 
       M. Appel's recollections and insights, informed and 
       filtered by his advanced degrees in medicine, law, and 
       ethics, not only inspire nostalgic feelings but also offer
       insight into contemporary medical and ethical issues. At 
       times sardonic and at others self-deprecating, Appel lays 
       bare the most private aspects of his emotional life. "We'd
       just visited my grandaunt in Miami Beach, the last time we
       would ever see her. I had my two travel companions, Fat 
       and Thin, securely buckled into the backseat of my 
       mother's foul-tempered Dodge Dart," writes Appel of his 
       family vacation with his two favorite rubber cat toys. 
       Shortly thereafter Fat and Thin were lost forever--
       beginning, when Appel was just six years old, what he 
       calls his "private apocalypse." Both erudite and full-
       hearted, Appel recounts storylines ranging from a bout of 
       unrequited love gone awry to the poignant romance of his 
       grandparents. We learn of the crank phone calls he made to
       his own family, the conspicuous absence of Jell-O at his 
       grandaunt's house, and family secrets long believed 
       buried. The stories capture the author's distinctive voice
       --a blend of a physician's compassion and an ethicist's 
       constant questioning."--|cProvided by publisher.
