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.

今晚一口气读完了,后半段开始一直哭到不能自已。在去年这个时候看了改编的电影,在Alice演讲的时候无法言语的感动与鼓舞人心的力量,从被诊断到病情慢慢恶化,慌张茫然,手足无措,这一切一切都是我说最害怕的。从小到大记忆力好算是我最引以为豪的一件事之一,看到书中Alice...

評分1. 两点好:真实,科学。不愧是neuroscience PhD写的,虽然还是有一定程度上文学的或者说浪漫主义的修饰。但是对于AD病人的mental recess的过程太细致动人了,再就是对AD的诊断、治疗、supporting group等一系列疗程都有靠谱的介绍。(虽然时间轴不太对,因为确诊不会那么迅速...
評分这本书出于2009年初,不曾想年底的诺贝尔物理学奖就颁给了一位Alzheimer症患者,光纤之父高锟。诺奖公布之时,有传言高锟已患老年痴呆。看到电视上的采访,一定另所有人唏嘘不已。而我又被带到小说中描述的故事,想起当时读得我泪流满面的情景。很感人,而且很真实。
her yesterdays are disappearing, yet her tomorrows are uncertain. She's just lives for every second of "today", she might forgot today in the near further but it doesn't mean today doesn't matter.
评分多處被深深感動,沒看過電影,估計電影會渲染的更厲害。推薦。
