Life, Animated by Ron Suskind
Imagine being trapped inside a Disney movie and having to learn about life mostly from animated characters dancing across a screen of color. A fantasy? A nightmare? This is the real-life story of Owen Suskind, the son of the Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Ron Suskind and his wife, Cornelia. An autistic boy who couldn't speak for years, Owen memorized dozens of Disney movies, turned them into a language to express love and loss, kinship, brotherhood.The family was forced to become animated characters, communicating with him in Disney dialogue and song; until they all emerge, together, revealing how, in darkness, we all literally need stories to survive.Ron Suskind is the author of four New York Times best-sellers, including A Hope in the Unseen: An American Odyssey from the Back Alley to the Ivy League, which received critical acclaim. Confidence Men, The Way of the World, The One Percent Doctrine, and The Price of Loyalty are among his other works. He won the Pulitzer Prize for his work as a senior national affairs writer for The Wall Street Journal, and he is now a Senior Fellow at Harvard's Center for Ethics. He and his wife, Cornelia Kennedy, live in Cambridge, Massachusetts.
