In December 1988 the author was stricken by a virus that targeted his brain, leaving him totally disabled and utterly changed. This book presents a picture of what it is like to find oneself possessed of a ravaged memory and unstable balance, and confronted by wholesale changes in both cognitive and emotional powers.
