I just had an exam today in which we studied this kind of aphasic people. Wow! They don't get a word of what they listen but they get every specific detail of the attached expressions!! Wowwwwwww!! I want to watch this film

[ooLevityoo]

It was a brilliant book but I don't understand how it could be adapted into a film, there are too many case studies which could not really connect in a film to form a narrative/plot.

[MRJONNYMUSIC]

Amazing Book!!

[BlissSouth]

I've yet to see the movie or the play, but I've recently begun reading the book and I'm enjoying it a great deal. I do recommend it! :)

[aniegaby]

[lumikitten]

Amazing book. I first read it when I was 16 and loved it even then. Highly recommend it to anyone.

I've almost finished this book, it's amazing!

[roshanakmofidi]

I am dying to read this book, i read a small passage and it looks VERY VERY interesting.

[metabog]

That was a GREAT book.

[humbledog1984]

sad book, marvellous opera.

[MightyHatter]

It certainly is a very interesting book. Sacks has written lots of interesting books. TMWMHWFAH is probably a good introduction to his work because it is lots of short episodes.

What language(s) is the play in?

[musicdivinemusic]

I've seen the whole opera in a wonderful, very modern version in Sao Paulo, Brazil. It's amazing how such an interesting opera was produced from Dr. Sachs' book. There are no murders, no love scenes... just a patient (a classical singer) with a strange brain condition, his wife and the doctor. And stunning music. Don't miss it if you have a chance to see it.

[EmeraldSky33]

I *love* the book! It made me consider neuroscience as a possible major. What is this trailer for? The play?

[adjemetznberemutsje]

does anybody know if there's also a movie about this "man who mistook his wife for a hat"?

[quartercirclerightA]

no there isn't but there is a play written by peter brook. its really good and quite unlike anything else. its pretty much the patients displayed to us like that of Ollie Sacks' book, with a few alterations here and there. u'll prob like it :)
