On the surface, Alexander Otto is quite simply a perfect specimen of humanity. Could there be a more doting husband and father, a more respected surgeon? 'His goodness oozes out of him like pus,' says Edwina Frye, Otto's biographer. Writing her own speculative biography of Otto alongside the sanitised commissioned version, Frye finally whispers, 'I've got you Alexander, because I know who you are'. And the desperate man topples from his pedestal to land prostrate before this 'ringmaster with a whip of pink paper, cracking lashes in blue ink'. Between these two unpleasant characters, 'Under the Knife' tells us about the stuff of life: love, desire, obsession, failure, cowardice and evil.
