I also have read and loved most of Oliver Sacks’s books, but not this autobiography. It is really tempting, especially if he provides details about his life in NY & San Francisco.

I agree Rachel. It’s not a good title. Yikes!

I had not heard that about Oliver Sacks’s stories. This autobiography sounded pretty legit. Thanks Rachel for the input.

I have read The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat. I have a couple other books by Sacks that I haven’t yet read. It was very interesting, but I have heard rumors that Sacks made up his stories as conglomerations of patients with a particular diagnosis to get a particularly interesting case or one that fits the diagnosis perfectly. Regardless, the stories are interesting!

Yeah Michelle it’s been popping in places. A return of ’60s lit perhaps!

Yes Becca, I think Sacks fits everything into his life story. It paints such a full portrait — I felt I just about knew him by the end. Thanks for stopping by.
