The Shaking Woman or A History of My Nerves by Siri Hustvedt

FROM THE INTERNATIONALLY BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF WHAT I LOVED AND A WOMAN LOOKING AT MEN LOOKING AT WOMEN WITH A NEW INTRODUCTION BY NOGA ARIKHA 'Provocative but often funny, encyclopedic but down to earth . . . an extraordinary double story' Oliver Sacks 'It is Hustvedt's gift to write with exemplary clarity of what is by necessity unclear' Hilary Mantel, Guardian While speaking at a memorial event for her father, the novelist Siri Hustvedt suffered a violent seizure from the neck down. Was it triggered by nerves, emotion - or something else entirely? In this profoundly thought-provoking and revealing book, Hustvedt takes the reader on her journey through psychiatry, philosophy, neuroscience and medical history in search of a diagnosis. Conveying the often frightening mysteries of illness, she illuminates the perennially mysterious connection between mind and body and what we mean by 'I'. 'Fascinating' Daily Telegraph 'Elegant, clear and wide-ranging' Independent
