Produktinformationen "The Ceiling Outside"
"A diabetic woman awakens from a coma having forgotten the last ten years of her life. A Haitian immigrant has nightmares that begin bleeding into his waking hours. A retired teacher loses the use of her right hand due to pain of no known origin. Noga Arikha began studying these patients and their confounding symptoms in order to explore how our physical experiences inform our identities. Soon after she initiated her work, the question took on unexpected urgency as Arikha's own mother began to show signs of Alzheimer's disease. In [this book], Arikha recounts this life-changing experience and grapples with the unbreakable links between our bodies and our sense of self. Weaving together stories of her subjects' troubles and her mother's decline, Arikha searches for some meaning in the science she has set out to study"--Dust jacket flap.
