people talk about how christina stead's great weakness is not knowing what to edit/weed out. and it's true, sure, but i dunno...i kinda like that. it makes her lengthy detailed repetitive books of female domestic and familial experience feel more authentic and less literary, in a way i enjoy. like you're at the kitchen table reading the unexpurgated letters from your batty aunt who doesn't know the meaning of discretion, or something. "fun."
probably the best lesbian victorian thriller i've read up to this point.
I read this in high school and loved it.
One of the most important books I have read in my life.
I didn't like this one as much as I liked Weiner's other books, because instead of just being a story about people's lives and relationships, it's a murder-mystery, so it's kind of weird.
-El caso del pintor ciego al color (acromatopsia) -El último Hippie (síndrome del lóbulo frontal) -Vida de un cirujano (síndrome de Tourette) -Ver y no ver (recuperación de la visión tras 40 años de ceguera) -El paisaje de sus sueños (la memoria y los recuerdos) -Prodigios (idiots savants) -Un antropólogo en Marte (autismo y síndrome de Aspergen) La historia de la máquina de "estrujar" es impresionante... Muy interesantes todas las historias, Sacks es un gran "formador", explica muy bien los casos sin resultar demasiado tecnificista ni artificioso, lo hace de una manera amena y con profusión de ejemplos y casos, un poco reiterativos en ocasiones. Pero en conjunto, sumamente interesante.
