WHAT'S WRONG WITH DORFMAN? by JOHN BLUMENTHAL
|
SummaryMeet Martin Dorfman: cynic, hypochondriac, and burned-out
screenwriter. In the midst of navigating his latest film
script through Hollywood Development Hell--an agonizing
journey even for a healthy person-- the forty-year-old
Dorfman wakes up one morning with a mysterious disease.
After a battery of medical tests, his doctors conclude that
he is in perfect health, but Dorfman is convinced he is
dying and sets out on an odyssey to find a diagnosis. Heralded by the Wall Street Journal as "a funny and
surprisingly moving story written at the intersection of
shtick and angst," What's Wrong With Dorfman? follows
Dorfman into the lunatic fringes of alternative medicine,
where he encounters his innermost demons, as well as the
beguiling Delilah Foster, a fellow hypochondriac. Will
Dorfman find a cure? Will his movie get made? Will he run
away with Delilah Foster? And most importantly, what indeed
is wrong with Dorfman? More than just the plight of one man, What's Wrong with
Dorfman? reflects the angst of modern society and asks the
question "Aren't we all a little nuts?
