Oliver Sacks, M.D. is a physician, a best-selling author, and a professor of neurology at the NYU School of Medicine. The New York Times has referred to him as “the poet laureate of medicine.”

He is best known for his collections of neurological case histories, including The Man who Mistook his Wife for a Hat, Musicophilia: Tales of Music and the Brain and An Anthropologist on Mars. Awakenings, his book about a group of patients who had survived the great encephalitis lethargica epidemic of the early twentieth century, inspired the 1990 Academy Award-nominated feature film starring Robert De Niro and Robin Williams.

Dr. Sacks is a frequent contributor to the New Yorker and the New York Review of Books.

When Oliver Sacks was twelve years old, a perceptive schoolmaster wrote in his report: “Sacks will go far, if he does not go too far.” It is now abundantly clear that Sacks has never stopped going. From its opening pages on his youthful obsession with motorcycles and speed, On the Move is infused with his restless energy. As he recounts his experiences as a young neurologist in the early 1960s, first in California, where he struggled with drug addiction and then in New York, where he discovered a long forgotten illness in the back wards of a chronic hospital, we see how his engagement with patients comes to define his life.

With unbridled honesty and humor, Sacks shows us that the same energy that drives his physical passions — weightlifting and swimming—also drives his cerebral passions. He writes about his love affairs, both romantic and intellectual; his guilt over leaving his family to come to America; his bond with his schizophrenic brother; and the writers and scientists—Thom Gunn, A.R. Luria, W.H. Auden, Francis Crick — who influenced him. On the Move is the story of a brilliantly unconventional physician and writer — and of the man who illuminated the many ways that the brain makes us human.

(原文发表于betterread) On the move: 继续前行,即使目标不明。其实,Oliver Sacks这本自传出版的时候,坊间已知他是癌症晚期时日无多。起这个书名,也许是想和自己的命运幽一默吧? Oliver Sacks是谁?不成功的神经科学家,成功的神经科医生,极为成功的神经科学通俗作家,...

书评: 奥利弗萨克斯是杰出的神经病学家, 他的第二个身份是闻名全球的畅销书作家。 书中讲述了他的成长经历和日常生活。 包括他喜欢骑摩托车的冒险行为,包括他同性恋的性取向。 也包括他对于左旋多巴这种药品的实验过程。 不过,这本书没有读出什么特别来, 感觉比较平淡。

做的是和书有关的工作,经常被问的问题当然也和书有关。 比如,“给我推荐一本关于XX的书”,这对于我个人来说是一个极其可怕的问题。因为无从答起。 我喜欢另一个问题—— “最近在读什么书”? ——————————————————问答—————————————————...

读完这本自传的时候,看到Oliver 8月30日辞世的消息。悲伤的同时更加为他的坚强所感染。

评分

坦率讲自己骑摩托车旅行,将自己求学,讲作为同性恋对性和爱的试探,吸毒经历,自己行医经历工作的热爱,坦诚真挚,a memoir of glorious, unflinching honesty

评分

作者写得很真实,诚恳,一口气读完。有的地方提到神经科学的地方稍有所干巴巴的。还是最喜欢他真正地在路上的那几个章节。

We share tons of qualities in common,so maybe that is why I am addicted to Oliver Sacks and his fancinating works.
