I heard this author interviewed on NPR, and it was one of those "driveway" moments that they always talk about. I just had to stop and listen. My next stop was the bookstore. The story that Taylor tells describes my worst nightmare. She was a high-functioning neuroscientist who had a stroke that caused her to lose much of her memory. She had to re-learn everything from scratch. Sounds depressing. But as she told it, the story was about liberation. She was freed from the weight of her past. And suddenly able to see the world in new ways that were not available to her before. This is one of the most thought-provoking books that I've read in a very long time. I recommend this book especially for people who enjoy reading Oliver Sachs (the author of The Man Who Mistook his Wife for a Hat), or other writers on the brain. But Taylor adds a new understanding of the experience of the brain from a personal point of view. I recommend it very highly.
