Captivating read, a rare glimpse. It's based on a personal diary, but sounds off more like an elegy. It's truly remarkable how Dr. Sacks could remain so actively writing in his final months, maintaining emotional discipline and his genius in face of impending fate. At the same time the text left a feeling of solitude, not the loneliness kind, but the one devoid of distractions, very much determined and concentrated. Perhaps this is unfair to those last 6 or so years which were marked with his opening up to love and new relationship, and which surely had a great share of joy to them. Thank you for sharing your genius, Dr. Sacks.
