Oh Jan! You’ve touched my heartstrings with this post in praise of Oliver Sachs. How I loved this giant of neurology and extraordinary human being. I’ve read all his works, including his Journal of Oaxaca which I used as a guide for our recent trip there.Oliver Sachs He knew how to ask the big questions about life. His New York Times essays on mortality shortly before his own death are so exquisitely self-aware. Thanks for this beautiful post!
