Interview with Oliver Saks
[edit] Blurb
Imagine what it would be like to be trapped inside a body turned to stone. Try to picture being engulfed by a sickness that has taken away 30 years of your life by putting you to sleep. Think about being deprived of movement and energy, and feel yourself as totally dependent upon others for your basic needs. Consider the burdens and blessings of life, suffering, health, and happiness as you watch the extraordinary film Awakenings.
