Summary
In December 1988, the author was stricken by a virus that targeted his brain. The resulting damage left him totally disabled and utterly changed. This book is a candid memoir of living with a brain and a mind that have… suddenly been shattered - an intimate picture of what it is like to find oneself possessed of a ravaged memory, unstable balance, and wholesale changes in both cognitive and emotional powers. 2003.
