Book Review:
Oliver Sacks, the ''poet laureate of medicine,'' explores the phenomenon of hallucinations in this fascinating book. He argues that hallucinations are not solely the domain of the mentally ill but are experienced by many people across different conditions. Through stories of his patients and his own experiments, Sacks examines how hallucinations have influenced art, culture, and religion. This book is a keystone in Sacks' remarkable body of work, demonstrating that the potential for hallucination is a vital part of the human condition. It's an affable, affectionate, and smart exploration of the mind.
