"Red Pepper Burns" by Grace S. Richmond is a novel likely written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around R. P. ("Red Pepper") Burns, a physician with a spirited personality. The narrative hints at themes of responsibility, temperamental challenges, and the complexities of both personal and professional life through Red Pepper’s interactions with friends and patients in a small village setting. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to Red Pepper as he hurriedly drives his car, the Green Imp, through his neighborhood, revealing his impulsive nature. His neighbors engage in a lively discussion about his character, establishing him as a man with a fiery temper yet an undeniably warm heart. As various characters, including Arthur Chester and the women in their lives, interact with the eccentric physician, it becomes clear that Red is grappling with personal challenges that affect his professional duties as a surgeon. The opening chapter sets the stage for a deeper exploration of the human conditions Red faces, including feelings of guilt over patient care, his relationships with others, and his inner struggles, hinting at an evolving character arc that readers can expect to follow throughout the narrative.
