Musicophilia by Oliver Sacks With the same trademark
compassion and erudition he brought to The Man Who Mistook
His Wife for a Hat Oliver Sacks explores the place music
occupies in the brain and how it affects the human
condition. In Musicophilia he shows us a variety of what
he calls “musical misalignments.” Among them: a man struck
by lightning who suddenly desires to become a pianist at
the age of forty-two; an entire group of children with
Williams syndrome who are hypermusical from birth; people
with “amusia” to whom a symphony sounds like the
clattering of pots and pans; and a man whose memory spans
only seven seconds-for everything but music. Illuminating
inspiring and utterly unforgettable Musicophilia is Oliver
Sacks’ latest masterpiece.
