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

4.0

Super interesting story of the author's search to figure out what caused her body to uncontrollably shake while she was giving a speech. Lots of cool medical history since it touches briefly on several different types of neurological disorders that she rules out (including temporal lobe epilepsy, which I have). It always makes me stoked to learn more about these sorts of things! One of the best parts of the book is its work cited list, I got a lot of ideas for books to read from it.
