Description

Howard Engel was a Canadian mystery author famous for his Benny Cooperman detective stories. In 2001 he unknowingly suffered a stroke that left him with alexia sine agraphia, a condition that prevented him from understanding written words without a major effort, but without affecting his ability to write. This is a preliminary printing copy of his experiences As noted in the afterword by Oliver Sachs "He tells his story from the inside, with extraordinary insight, humour and intelligence . Iti is a story that is not only as fascinating as one of his own detective novels but a testament to the resilience and creative adaptation of of one man and his brain" Proof copy in the form of a computer printout dated 7/11/07. 160p. in comb binding
