His consciousness is limited only in the ability to express itself. In a way, we see this writer condemned to a strangely specific fate-almost like a thought experiment in a philosophy class: He is unable to communicate, but he is still able to perceive. His entire ability to communicate with the outside world is taken away, and he has no way to communicate to his friends and family that he is actually lucid. The next day, he is so paralyzed by a stroke that he cannot move his body, his face, or speak. One day, he was a healthy man living a normal, sophisticated life. The situation that the author writes about in this memoir is mind-bending and difficult to imagine. Written by people who wish to remain anonymousīefore analyzing the book's contents, perhaps it might be wise to observe one obvious feature of this book: it is a testament to a man's tenacity and passion.
