Book
And how are you, Dr. Sacks? : a biographical memoir of Oliver Sacks / Lawrence Weschler.
'And How Are You, Dr. Sacks' is the untold story of Dr. Oliver Sacks as our preeminent romantic scientist, a self-described "clinical ontologist" whose entire practice revolved around the single fundamental question he effectively asked each of his patients: How are you? Which is to say, How do you be? A question which Weschler, with this book, turns back on the good doctor himself.
