When Oliver Sacks was twelve years old, a perceptive schoolmaster wrote in his report: “Sacks will go far, if he does not go too far.” It is now abundantly clear that Sacks has never stopped going. From its opening pages on his youthful obsession with motorcycles and speed, On the Move is infused with his restless energy. As he recounts his experiences as a young neurologist in the early 1960s, first in California, where he struggled with drug addiction and then in New York, where he discovered a long forgotten illness in the back wards of a chronic hospital, we see how his engagement with patients comes to define his life.
With unbridled honesty and humor, Sacks shows us that the same energy that drives his physical passions — weightlifting and swimming—also drives his cerebral passions. He writes about his love affairs, both romantic and intellectual; his guilt over leaving his family to come to America; his bond with his schizophrenic brother; and the writers and scientists—Thom Gunn, A.R. Luria, W.H. Auden, Francis Crick — who influenced him. On the Move is the story of a brilliantly unconventional physician and writer — and of the man who illuminated the many ways that the brain makes us human.
Oliver Sacks, M.D. is a physician, a best-selling author, and a professor of neurology at the NYU School of Medicine. The New York Times has referred to him as “the poet laureate of medicine.”
He is best known for his collections of neurological case histories, including The Man who Mistook his Wife for a Hat, Musicophilia: Tales of Music and the Brain and An Anthropologist on Mars. Awakenings, his book about a group of patients who had survived the great encephalitis lethargica epidemic of the early twentieth century, inspired the 1990 Academy Award-nominated feature film starring Robert De Niro and Robin Williams.
Dr. Sacks is a frequent contributor to the New Yorker and the New York Review of Books.
what a life!
评分结尾好一下就加颗星。确实像Dr. Sacks的老友评价过的那样,他的文字(至少这本书里)总觉得少点sympathy/humanity,直到结尾几页谈到爱情❤️才好些~ 准备看Awakenings的电影,以后有空再补上他写的其他书吧。
评分很向往的多彩人生。

评分读完这本自传的时候,看到Oliver 8月30日辞世的消息。悲伤的同时更加为他的坚强所感染。
看完这本书后,才感叹人生原来也可以这样过!一个人的人生没有所谓正确,也没有所谓成功,只要你自己觉得有意义,你的人生就是有意义的!即使他是同性恋,即使他吸过毒,丝毫不妨碍他成为一名杰出的神经学家,依然不能掩盖他对神经学科做出的巨大贡献,依然黯淡不了他所显现的...

评分 评分(原文发表于betterread) On the move: 继续前行,即使目标不明。其实,Oliver Sacks这本自传出版的时候,坊间已知他是癌症晚期时日无多。起这个书名,也许是想和自己的命运幽一默吧? Oliver Sacks是谁?不成功的神经科学家,成功的神经科医生,极为成功的神经科学通俗作家,...
评分这是一位英国科学家的自传。 相比于历史上那些如雷贯耳的自传和回忆录,这本书的分量过于轻,也不见有什么划时代的意义。 但就是有那么几点,让人难忘与感动。 关于寻常,关于热爱,关于自我,关于他者,关于生命,关于死亡。 作者本身只是一位致力于临床医学的神经科学家,因...
