«One Hundred Names for Love» is Diane Ackerman's memoir, published by W. W. Norton & Company in hardcover (336 pages, in English).
Diane Ackerman recounts how her husband, the writer Paul West, suffered a stroke that caused aphasia and left him with barely any language. Convinced that standard therapies were not enough, the author used her knowledge of the brain and the intimacy of her marriage to design her own path to rehabilitation. A story about the power of love and creativity to rebuild the world of words.
Finalist for the Pulitzer Prize and the National Book Critics Circle Award.
Recommended for readers of memoirs and nonfiction, interested in stories of overcoming adversity and the relationship between language and the brain.
