A London surgeon saw a man displayed in a shop across from his hospital and could not leave him there. Frederick Treves wrote the account that gave Joseph Merrick to the world, and set around it recollections from a career in medicine and among the poor. Clear-eyed, unsentimental, and quietly devastating about what people do to one another.
