In Musicophilia, award-winning author and neurologist Oliver Sacks examines the relationship between music and unusual brain disorders. From a group of children born with hyper-musicality, to a surgeon struck by lightning who experiences a sudden obsession with piano music, to a man with a memory span of only seven seconds for everything but music, Sacks gives us a compassionate look at a variety of cases that he calls “musical misalignments.” Musicophilia is an inspiring and unforgettable masterpiece that shows how music affects the human condition.
