He suffered considerably when he was younger - experiences he has chronicled in his earlier fiction and nonfiction - and emerged a romantic, determined to be kind and extravagantly compassionate, a genuine humanist. It is tempting to look at him as a man with multiple careers running in tandem, but all his work is anchored in a consistent, profound moral architecture of the spirit. His last novel, “Cutting for Stone,” spent more than two years on this newspaper’s best-seller list.
