In his most extraordinary book, Oliver Sacks recounts the
case histories of patients lost in the bizarre, apparently
inescapable world of neurological disorders. Sacks tells the
stories of individuals afflicted with fantastic perceptual and
intellectual aberrations: patients who have lost their memories
and with them the greater part of their pasts; who are no longer
able to recognize people and common objects; who are stricken
with violent tics and grimaces or who shout involuntary
obscenities; whose limbs have become alien; who have been
dismissed as retarded yet are gifted with uncanny artistic or
mathematical talents. If inconceivably strange, these brilliant
tales remain, in Dr. Sacks's splendid and sympathetic telling,
deeply human. A great healer, Sacks never loses sight of
medicine's ultimate responsibility: the suffering, afflicted,
fighting human subject.
