Literal Lattt
For fifteen years, New York's community literary paper, Literal Latté, has kept free thought free, developed new writers, and fed hungry readers. Debuting in 1994, Literal Latté filled a void for aspiring writers and editors.

Among them: a surgeon who is struck by lightning and suddenly becomes obsessed with Chopin; people with ‘amusia’, to whom a symphony sounds like the clattering of poets and pans; and a man whose memory spans only seven seconds – for everything but music. Dr Sacks describes how music can animate people with Parkinson’s disease who cannot otherwise move, give words to stroke patients who cannot otherwise speak, and calm and organize people who are deeply disoriented by Alzheimer’s or schizophrenia. Musicophilia alters our conception of who we are and how we function, and shows us an essential part of what it is to be human.

Aan de hand van bijzondere ziektegeschiedenissen laat Oliver Sacks zien welke invloed muziek op het brein heeft.

"Forse, se non avessi trascorso tutte le domeniche di primavera affondando fino alle caviglie nel fango per coltivare l'orto, non mi sarei lasciata sedurre con tanta facilità dai suoni decadenti della lingua inglese provenienti dai solchi di un disco. Mi sarei iscritta alla facoltà di Medicina, come mia madre, o di Ingegneria, come facevano tutti. E forse non sarei fuggita in America su un volo dell'Aeroflot, trascinando una valigia messa a soqquadro da un agente del KGB, valigia in cui avevo infilato venti chili di quella che era stata la mia vita."
