I recently finished reading a wonderful little book written by a well-known crime novelist, Howard Engel. It’s a personal memoir entitled, “The Man Who Forgot How To Read” and it’s his personal journey back from a stroke which left him unable to write.
He describes how, with reading and writing as being not only his art, his craft and his passion, is stripped from him when he wakes up one day from a stroke which leaves him unable to write. Here is a man where writing is literally his life and it is a wonderfully empowering story of how he crawls back and ends up writing another book.
