Praise for The House of God
“The raunchy, troubling, and hilarious novel that turned into a
cult phenomenon. Singularly compelling...brutally
honest.”—The New York Times
“Bawdy, blistering...this is Catch-22 with
stethoscopes.”—Cosmopolitan
“Wonderfully wild, ribald, erotic, bitter, compassionate...in the
same spirit as Catch-22.”—The Seattle Times
“A wildly funny, sad, laugh-out-loud, frightening, outrageous,
thought-provoking, moving book…a story of modern medicine rarely,
if ever, told.”—The Houston Chronicle
“Does for the practice of medicine what Catch-22 and M*A*S*H did
for the practice of warfare.”—The Newark Star-Ledger
“Mordantly funny, brilliantly ironic...A writer of outstanding
substance and style.”—Publishers Weekly (starred review)

Hello
There are two versions of this book's coverpage shown here. Will I be able to choose which one to order? I am wanting the light green/blue cover specifically, not the yellow one.
Thanks - Customer question on
