WITH A NEW INTRODUCTION BY NOGA ARIKHA
'Provocative but often funny, encyclopedic but down to earth . . . an extraordinary double story'
Oliver Sacks
'It is Hustvedt's gift to write with exemplary clarity of what is by necessity unclear'
Hilary Mantel, Guardian
While speaking at a memorial event for her father, the novelist Siri Hustvedt suffered a violent seizure from the neck down. Was it triggered by nerves, emotion - or something else entirely?
In this profoundly thought-provoking and revealing book, Hustvedt takes the reader on her journey through psychiatry, philosophy, neuroscience and medical history in search of a diagnosis. Conveying the often frightening mysteries of illness, she illuminates the perennially mysterious connection between mind and body and what we mean by 'I'.
'Fascinating'
Daily Telegraph
'Elegant, clear and wide-ranging'
