A General Practice

The Cahiers Series continues its exploration of translation in all its aspects with this moving text dealing with days in the life of a general practitioner working in an area of Paris where most of her patients will be immigrants with a flimsy grasp of the French language. Inspired by his surroundings and community in Brooklyn, his travels, as well as his family’s involvement in health-care and mass transit, Robert’s work shares Milne’s interest in our cities’ hidden places that harbour the labour that sustains the bodies of those who are often deemed expendable, even unspeakable.
