Mildred Walker's quiet realism and psychological subtlety distinguish novels as diverse as Winter Wheat and Dr. Norton's Wife, both available as Bison Books. Robert Giroux is a partner in the publishing firm of Farrar, Straus and Giroux. He has worked with many eminent authors and has written books on Shakespeare's sonnets and on the unsolved murder of a Hollywood director in A Deed of Death.

Description
"People who wail 'I don't see any reason why doctors don't discover a cure for --' would do well to read Medical Meeting. Mildred Walker's quiet, tragic novel of a young research scientist and his wife is a penetrating account of one of the major reasons [for failure]."-New York Times "Walker's integrity, understanding and unerring dramatic sense plus sound construction make this superior fiction."-Library Journal "Filled with knowing touches, clear sidelights on human nature, and specific clinical details, this provides far better than average reading."-Kirkus
