Même si le fait d'écrire un livre dans cet état relève du défi, je n'ai pas trouvé personnellement énormément d'intérêt au livre, si ce n'est une enfilade de moments sans vraiment de liens ou d'évolution. Bien sûr la condition interpelle, certains moments sont touchants, mais ce n'est pas exactement...
Aunque ciertamente el libro sería mucho menos poderoso si no se considerada el método con el cuál fue escrito y la historia del autor, eso no significa que perdería todo su mérito si así fuera. El narrador no es particularmente agradable y por momentos es terriblemente chocante. Quizá lo realmente...
The first time I heard about Locked-In Syndrome was on that episode of House. I almost didn't believe it was a real condition at first, it seemed so horrific.

I can't imagine living in that kind of prison. I took the way Mr. Bauby described his life before his stroke as being a superficia...
The dramatic nature of the book lies in its writing process: blinking the words, letter by letter. This must have been a tremendous effort, for both Bauby and the woman who did the actual writing. Apart from that, I’ve definitely read better prose and more interesting memoirs. I suspect the film to ...
