In On the Move, Oliver Sacks, the neurologist and
best-selling author, who is probably best known for his book, The Man Who
Mistook His Wife for a Hat, recounts his fascinating life story. Here he delves
into his early fascination with speed, his experiences as a young neurologist
and his work with his patients. He tells how his work with a group of the
chronically ill, who lay forgotten in the back wards of a New York hospital
shaped his work as a clinician, and led him to write about them movingly in one
of his earliest books, Awakenings.
