Motorcyclists were a friendly lot; we waved to one another when we passed on the road, made conversation easily if we met at a café. We formed a sort of romantic classless society within society at large. [pictured on his R60 BMW]
The film Awakenings was based on Sacks’ 1973 memoir. Sacks was brilliant but deeply eccentric.
Huge Oliver Sacks disciple and as my wife Tessa and I are musicians, Music Ophilia has been a wonderful book.
Greetings from a warm Johannesburg where we are staring a water crisis in the face!
Rottenly jealous of your new abode up north.
Allt som är gott och hälsofyllt för dig de kommande dagarna.
Another water crisis? Oh man. We were in Cape Town in 2018 when the situation was so bad there. Will be in Joburg again in January. Thanks for the heads up!
just discovered this post; I’m a great Oliver Sacks fan: have read all of his books, some twice; that is a great photo — and quote !
