![]() Called the "poet laureate of medicine" by The New York Times, Sacks is the author of thirteen books, including The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat, Musicophilia, and Awakenings, which inspired an Oscar-nominated film and a play by Harold Pinter. Born in London in 1933, he moved to New York City in 1965, where he launched his medical career and began writing case studies of his patients. ![]() About the Author: Oliver Sacks was a neurologist, writer, and professor of medicine. Thomas in The New York Times Book Review, "Oliver Sacks also loves the oceanic kind of islands." Both kinds figure movingly in this book-part travelogue, part autobiography, part medical mystery story-in which Sacks's journeys to a tiny Pacific atoll and the island of Guam become explorations of the meaning of islands, the genesis of disease, the wonders of botany, the nature of deep geological time, and the complexities of being human. ![]() ![]() "An explorer of that most wondrous of islands, the human brain," writes D.M. ![]() ![]() ![]() Here, Sarah Miller reconstructs their unprecedented upbringing with fresh depth and subtlety, bringing to new light their resilience and the indelible bond of their unique sisterhood. The Dionne Quintuplets became a more popular attraction than Niagara Falls, ogled through one-way screens by sightseers as they splashed in their wading pool at the center of a tourist hotspot known as Quintland. In an effort to protect them from hucksters and showmen, the Ontario government took custody of the five identical babies, sequestering them in a private, custom-built hospital across the road from their family-and then, in a stunning act of hypocrisy, proceeded to exploit them for the next nine years.

There lies a certain further appropriateness. Istanbul is described by the Orhan Pamuk website as “a poetical work that is hard to classify, combining the author’s early memoirs up to the age of 22, and an essay about the city of Istanbul, illustrated with photographs from his own album, and pictures by western painters and Turkish photographers”.īoth for me, and for my benefactors, Jim and Therese, Istanbul is, first and foremost, a travel book. Pamuk has won many awards for his writing, including the 2006 Nobel prize for literature. Indeed, that was exactly how I managed to gain my first glimpses of Mexico. ![]() I am also in the habit of taking a look at places through the eyes of persons whose snapshots are separated by half a century. Orhan Pamuk, on the other hand, was born in 1952. The early part of Irfan Orga’s Portrait of a Turkish Family had taken place behind the Blue Mosque in that city. ![]() It was not surprising then when Jim and Therese, those avid travellers, veterans of ship wreck, parents of children educated in American schools, came up with a book on Istanbul as the perfect present for me. I have managed to acquire the anomalous space of a travel freak who almost never leaves his place of residence, except to catch the train to work. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() The Japanese authorities who interrogate Pi refuse to believe his story and press him to tell them "the truth."
