Interesting . . . I think I will need to have a second read to take it all in.
Incredible memoir about Bauby's experience of locked-in syndrome (fully paralyzed, unable to speak, but with his mind intact) and how he communicates by blinking one eye. His writing is wonderful.

I enjoyed Bauby’s lighthearted but poignant retelling of his life before and after a Locked-in Syndrome diagnosis. His positive outlook during such hardship serves as a reminder to be grateful for the simple things.

J’aime que ce soit de petites vignettes thématiques. Ça rappelle le processus d’écriture, à quel point chaque mot, chaque lettre ont une importance et ont été soigneusement choisis. Ça évite la lourdeur textuelle et émotionnelle d’un style plus chronologique ou réflectif : on est dans le ressenti.
