Oliver Sacks Biography
Wrote "Uncle Tungsten", a wonderful memoir of his early years and a neat text on metallurgy at the same time.
Dr. Sacks, 74, was born in London and moved to the United States in the early 1960s. He is perhaps best known as the author of “Awakenings,” which chronicles his treatment of patients with encephalitic lethargica (otherwise known as sleeping sickness) and was made into a 1990 movie starring Robert De Niro and Robin Williams. Another well-known book is “The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat,” a 1985 collection of essays about various patients with neurological problems. There are more than one million copies of all his books in print in the United States, and his work has been translated into more than 20 languages. His latest book, “Musicophilia: Tales of Music and the Brain,” is being published by Alfred A. Knopf in October.
