| Summary |
Writer Diane Ackerman's literary husband Paul West 'had a draper's touch for the unfolding fabric of a sentence, and he collected words like rare buttons.' In 2003, West suffered a stroke that left him with global aphasia: an inability to produce words or to understand words spoken to him. Her book One Hundred Names for Love documents her remarkable process in helping him repair his brain. Poet, essayist, and naturalist, Diane Ackerman is the author of two dozen highly acclaimed works of nonfiction and poetry, including the best-selling A Natural History of the Senses |
