Every detour leads to the self.

On the Move: A Life

"Every Detour Leads to the Self" is Oliver Sacks' autobiography and the last book published during his lifetime, covering a period from his youth as a student at Oxford University to his twilight years battling cancer.

In his extraordinarily rich life, Oliver Sacks was a respected physician and scientist, a highly awarded prodigy, yet he was also troubled and insecure for most of his life after his mother called his homosexuality "abominable." He socialized with truck drivers, chatted with Hollywood superstars, was a close friend to the poet Auden, and shared deep friendships with Nobel laureates Crick and Edelman. He once felt hopeless about love, living alone for most of his life, but at the age of seventy-five, he met the love of his life... This is a depth and breadth of life rarely matched.
