1990s - Stolar

Dan Stolar, MED ’93, who began medical studies at Yale with the Class of 1993, writes to say that after completing four and a half months of third-year clerkships, he took a leave of absence from the School of Medicine to pursue creative writing and eventually withdrew as a student in good standing. This spring his first book, The Middle of the Night, was published by Picador USA, a division of St. Martin’s Press. “Though I did not graduate from Yale School of Medicine, I am very grateful to the many medical school faculty and students who offered their support while I struggled with this difficult decision. It is no exaggeration to say that this book might never have been written without their help.”
