Produktbeschreibung

Finalist for the Pulitzer Prize and the National Book Critics Circle Award

"A testament to the power of creativity in language, lifeand love." Heller McAlpin, Washington Post

It is a truism that lovers have their own language. And the love storyextending over more than forty yearsof acclaimed writers Diane Ackerman and Paul West is equally a story of the love of language and its mysteries. In this heart-warming, uplifting memoir, Ackerman explores the brain's ability to find and connect wordsand of the latest science behind what happens when it fails to do so. Exposing both the terror of losing language and the giddy exhilaration of its recovery, Ackerman opens a window into the experience of wordlessness and testifies to the joyous necessity of wordplay for the health of both mind and spirit.
