And How Are You, Dr. Sacks?: A Biographical Memoir of Oliver Sacks by Lawrence Weschler

3.0

Oliver Sacks has always been one of my favorite people. I devoured his books in middle school and wrote countless research papers on his work in college. When I came across this book, I was overjoyed and couldn't wait to read it. However, it was so difficult for me to remain interested. It's clear that the author has a strong personal connection to Oliver, through the stories he tells, but it feels so disjointed. The personal tidbits and stories do not lend themselves to a book of this length. After a few chapters, I felt I had already gleamed much of what the book was trying to convey.
