Oliver Sacks was one of the most interesting human beings who has walked the Earth, and these letters show his humanity, his struggles, his extraordinary life, deep interests with wonderful care.
Congratulations to the editors. Editing this vast richness of correspondence must be a challenging and rewarding task.
Sacks was a human of magnitudes and his approach to life and self-discovery were honest and authentic, as well as humorous.
We learn about Sacks' travels, his family life and foundation years, and later his practice, hobbies, depression and addictions.
This was a highly thought-provoking, inspiring and well-edited book of letters.
