What is the connection between God and East Sheen? How do you talk your way out of an Albanian jail? Why do dictators love to make comic books? How does a missed penalty-kick lead to a bloody war? Theodore Dalrymple, a psychiatrist who gives expert witness in murder cases, has a passion for sideways thinking. In The Pleasure of Thinking he takes us on a witty and erudite voyage along the hidden pathways that bring ideas together. At once light-hearted and enlightening, it is an amusing flight of the imagination in which we discover the happy accidents that befall those who remain endlessly curious.
Theodore Dalrymple writes for The Times, Telegraph, Daily Mail and Express, and writes psychological profiles of murderers for British courts. For over a decade he had a column in the Spectator ('If Symptoms Persist') on his work as a prison doctor. He is the author of Spoilt Rotten (9781906142612) and he lives near Birmingham.
