"[Sacks] writes, basically, adventure stories, accounts of voyages into the unexplored territory of the brain. In doing so, he reveals a landscape far more complex and strange than anything we could infer from our daily interactions. After finishing a Sacks book, every face in the street inspires agonies of wild surmise." "Ultimately...Sacks clinical case studies are exercises in love and respect." AnnotationOliver Sacks, the popular neurologist and writer, turns his attention to the fascinating role that music plays in the human brain in this collection of amazing case studies. One man develops a deep love of music after being struck by lightning, eventually teaching himself to play and compose for the piano. Another man, stricken with debilitating amnesia reawakens to the world every few seconds--only music allows him to remain in the moment for any duration of time. In typical Sacks style, the essays in MUSICOPHILIA touch on science, psychology, philosophy, art, and literature with a delightful breadth of knowledge and humanity.
