In Lisa Genova’s extraordinary New York Times bestselling novel, an accomplished woman slowly loses her thoughts and memories to Alzheimer’s disease—only to discover that each day brings a new way of living and loving. Now a major motion picture starring Julianne Moore, Alec Baldwin, Kate Bosworth, and Kristen Stewart!
Alice Howland, happily married with three grown children and a house on the Cape, is a celebrated Harvard professor at the height of her career when she notices a forgetfulness creeping into her life. As confusion starts to cloud her thinking and her memory begins to fail her, she receives a devastating diagnosis: early onset Alzheimer’s disease. Fiercely independent, Alice struggles to maintain her lifestyle and live in the moment, even as her sense of self is being stripped away. In turns heartbreaking, inspiring, and terrifying, Still Alice captures in remarkable detail what it’s like to literally lose your mind...
Reminiscent of A Beautiful Mind, Ordinary People, and The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time, Still Alice packs a powerful emotional punch and marks the arrival of a strong new voice in fiction.
Lisa Genova graduated valedictorian, summa cum laude from Bates College with a degree in Biopsychology and has a Ph.D. in Neuroscience from Harvard University.
Acclaimed as the Oliver Sacks of fiction and the Michael Crichton of brain science, Lisa has captured a special place in contemporary fiction, writing stories that are equally inspired by neuroscience and the human spirit. She is author of the New York Times bestselling novels, STILL ALICE, LEFT NEGLECTED, LOVE ANTHONY, and INSIDE THE O'BRIENS.
STILL ALICE was adapted into a film starring Julianne Moore, Alec Baldwin, Kristen Stewart, Kate Bosworth and Hunter Parrish. Julianne Moore won the 2015 Best Actress Oscar for her role as Alice Howland.
In 2015, Lisa was named one of the U.S. Top 50 Influencers in Aging by Next Avenue. She has appeared on Dr. Oz, the TODAY show, CNN, PBS Newshour, and NPR.
Her TED Talk, "What You Can Do To Prevent Alzheimer's" has been viewed over three million times.
She received The Pell Center Prize for Story in the Public Square, for "distinguished storytelling that has enriched the public dialogue," The Sargent and Eunice Shriver Profiles in Dignity Award, The Global Genes RARE Champions of Hope Award, and The American College of Neuropsychopharmacology Media Award for "informing the public about Treatment and ongoing research in medical illness."
In 2016, she received an Honorary Doctorate of Humane Letters from Bates College, The Alzheimer's Association's Rita Hayworth Award, and The Huntington's Disease Society of America Community Awareness Award.

整部小说实在是太令人心碎,读的过程中真是无数次眼眶湿润。首先这是一本关于阿兹海默症的书,它给我们展示了一位阿兹海默症患者的内心独白,让我们近距离的了解患者的心灵,小说对阿兹海默症的普及,诊断,及治疗方面的作用是毋庸置疑的。但更重要的是,它是一本关于生...
评分To courage and love 2019.01.13 今天我的中学老师去世了。 他患老年痴呆症多年,前两年同学聚会的照片上他在人群中笑着,表情温和。自初中毕业就没再见过霍老师了,没想到此生再也没有机会了。霍老师把我们这些十几岁的孩子从泥里拔出来,指到一条康庄大道上。至今想起每日的...
评分这本书的主题是什么?亲情?爱情?斗争疾病的力量?全都对,但是我却觉得书名才真正地点出了全书一直在证明的一句简洁而又有力的话:Still Alice。 Alice变了吗?答案是肯定的。从一个高智商高能力,自我意识强烈而生活有条理的女教授“退化”到一个生活不能自理,不认...
