Man Who Forgot How To Read e-bog

One morning, prolific and bestselling crime novelist Howard Engel awoke to discover he had lost the ability to read. He had experienced a stroke that left him with the rare condition known as alexia sine agraphia-he could write, but as soon as he committed his thoughts to the page, he no longer knew what they were. Other effects of the stroke emerged over time, but none were as dramatic and devastating as this one for a man who made his living working with words. The Man Who Forgot How to Read is the warm, insightful and fascinating story of Engel's fight to overcome a condition that threatened to end his career. Engel's remarkable triumph over his affliction-he was finally able to write again and produced another bestselling Benny Cooperman detective novel, Memory Book-will inspire his fans and fascinate anyone interested in the mysteries of the human brain.
