Oliver Sacks is a physician and the author of ten previous books, including most recently, Musicophilia. He lives in New York City, where he is Professor of Neurology and Psychiatry at Columbia University. He is the first, and only, Columbia University Artist, and is also a Fellow of the Royal College of Physicians. In 2008, he was appointed Commander of the British Empire.
Writing simply and beautifully, Sacks uses individual case
histories to reveal the infinite complexities of the human
mind.

Sacks' great gift is his capacity to place himself in the position
of his subjects, to see the world the way they see it and to
empathize with their condition with great compassion but without
patronage or pity.
