Moin, liebe Hannelore.
"Der Mann der seine Frau mit einem Hut verwechselte" war ein legendäres Buch, bei dem (erstmals) neurologische Krankheiten für viele Normalmenschen begreiflich gemacht wurden. Und "Zeit des Erwachens" geht ja auch auf ihn zurück.

I just *found* the one friend of #OliverSacks from his school days whom no one has ever interviewed bc “he just disappeared”—and he emailed me immediately, offered to transcribe or scan the letters he has from Sacks (that are not in Sacks’ archive) & is willing to Zoom w/me. PS he’s 90 years old! 🗃️✍🏻

I have spent a ridiculous number of days searching for the unmarried surname of #OliverSacks’ maternal grandfather’s 1st wife (his mother was a child of the 2nd wife). Why? It just annoyed me that, like so many women in history, her name was lost, unknown even by her descendants. I JUST FOUND IT!! 🗃️

I love this man and I love this book. It attempts to explain why music is so importantto humanity, seemingly something that has no physical or corporeal benefit. Fascinating stuff.
A great loss to the world when he died.
