In this eye-popping and hilariously personal essay, Jonathan Black explores one of life’s great vexations: Waiting. From doctor’s offices to bad traffic, supermarket queues to college admissions limbo, Black reveals the secret truths behind everyday hold-ups and uncovers some remarkably simple solutions for avoiding them. Part journalism, part memoir, “The Doctor Will See You Shortly†takes readers on an informative and time-saving journey to find out why we wait and what we can do to get our lives back.
