With unbridled honesty and humor, Sacks writes about the passions that have driven his life--from motorcycles and weight lifting to neurology and poetry. He writes about his love affairs, both romantic and intellectual; his guilt over leaving his family to come to America; his bond with his schizophrenic brother; and the writers and scientists--W. H. Auden, Gerald M. Edelman, Francis Crick--who have influenced his work.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eOLIVER SACKS was the author of twelve previous books, including \u003ci\u003eThe Mind's Eye, Musicophilia, The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat, \u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eAwakenings\u003c\/i\u003e (which inspired both the Oscar-nominated film and a play by Harold Pinter). \u003ci\u003eThe New York Times\u003c\/i\u003e referred to Dr. Sacks as \"the poet laureate of medicine,\" and he was a frequent contributor to \u003ci\u003eThe New Yorker\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eThe New York Review of Books\u003c\/i\u003e.
