In this week’s episode of The Bookshop at the End of the Internet, author Dr. Joel Shulkin discusses his debut novel, Adverse Effects. What would you do if you were the only passenger riding an otherwise empty bus on a snowy day in Boston and, when the bus makes a stop, a stranger gets on and sits down in the seat directly behind you? If you are Joel Shulkin, you write a book about it. When Joel found himself in that exact situation, the inspiration for his book, Adverse Effects, was born. Adverse Effects is a medical and psychological thriller with a bit of espionage thrown in for good measure. In this episode, Joel chats about his writing journey, how his work as a full-time physician influences his medical thrillers, and the best writing advice he received, which was not to write about only what you know but to write about what you want to know.
