One Hundred Names for Love: A Memoir

Diane Ackerman
3.85/5 (742 ratings)
Read Now Download Now
No other writer can blend the science of the brain with the love of language like Diane Ackerman. In this extraordinary memoir, she opens a window into the experience of wordlessness—the language paralysis called aphasia. In narrating the recovery of her husband, Paul West, from a stroke that reduced his vast vocabulary to a single syllable, she evokes the joy and mystery of the brain’s ability to find and connect words. Deeply rewarding to readers of all kinds, Ackerman has given us a literary love story, accessible insight into the science and medicine of brain injury,
and invaluable spiritual sustenance in the face of life’s myriad physical sufferings.
