Hallucinations don’t belong wholly to the insane. Much more commonly, they are linked to sensory deprivation, intoxication, illness, or injury. Here Dr. Sacks weaves together stories of his patients and of his own mind-altering experiences to illuminate what hallucinations tell us about the organization and structure of our brains, how they have influenced every culture’s folklore and art, and why the potential for hallucination is present in us all.

Somehow both very thorough and very accessible
Revisado: 04-20-23
Sacks tells everything one might want to know about common types of hallucinations save those of Schizophrenia, which is clarified early on as too distinct. Each chapter is sorted by type, concluded with a related wholesome anecdote or story from a patient. Many times Sacks would mention he discussed an interesting case further in a different book, and by the end I had the rest of his published works on my reading list. I started this for knowledge and finished it feeling equally charmed and educated. An easy recommend if it sounds remotely interesting.

The Unnamable is the third novel in Beckett's trilogy, three remarkable prose works in which men of increasingly debilitating physical circumstances act, ponder, consider and rage against impermanence and the human condition. The Unnamable is without doubt the most uncompromising text and it is read here in startling fashion by Sean Barrett.

Best Performance on Audible
Revisado: 08-31-22
This is the definitive way to experience a book I previously considered unadaptable. Arguably the greatest novel exploration of the raw self, with a fittingly mad yet eerily lucid performance by Barrett.
