Beschreibung:
A man''s wife dies. What next? The next day is next, and the next, and so on. He smothers his sorrow and gets on with the days. He''s a Stoic. Tranquillity is the goal, but his brain won''t rest. As a neuropsychologist he has spent a career trying to fathom the human brain but now, he comes to realize, his brain is struggling to make sense of him - probing, doubting, reconstructing.
Combining neurological case stories and memoir, and with excursions into speculative fiction and mythology, this is an audaciously original, deeply personal meditation on grief, time and selfhood.
