L'home que va confondre la seva dona amb un barret
by Oliver Sacks
A L'home que va confondre la seva dona amb un barret Oliver Sacks ens planteja un conjunt de relats amb colla de personatges rars, sorprenents i curiosos com a protagonistes: un home que camina inclinat com la torre de Pisa i es fa fer unes ulleres amb un nivell de bombolla per poder mantenir-se recte, una dona que no té cap sentit del propi cos i que acaba caient desplomada, un prestigiós músic que té agnòsia visual i arriba a confondre la seva dona amb un barret, etcètera. Tots ells són pacients d'Oliver Sacks, que ens condueix amb destresa per les zones inexplorades i més desconegudes de la ment humana.

Oliver Sacks, M.D. was a physician, a best-selling author, and a professor of neurology at the NYU School of Medicine. The New York Times has referred to him as “the poet laureate of medicine.” He is best known for his collections of neurological case histories, including The Man who Mistook his Wife for a Hat, Musicophilia: Tales of Music and the Brain and An Anthropologist on Mars. Awakenings, his book about a group of patients who had survived the great encephalitis lethargica epidemic of the early twentieth century, inspired the 1990 Academy Award-nominated feature film starring Robert De Niro and Robin Williams. Dr. Sacks was a frequent contributor to the New Yorker and the New York Review of Books. ([source][1]) [1]: https://www.oliversacks.com/about-oliver-sacks/
