Diane Ackerman: 100 Names for Love
Diane Ackerman, best selling author of A Natural History of the Senses,
An Alchemy of Mind, and The Zookeeper's Wife, has built a reputation on
her poetic sensibility and uncanny knack for scouting out connections
between the heavens, Earth, and everything in between. In her latest
memoir, One Hundred Names for Love: a Stroke, a Marriage, and the
Language of Healing, Ackerman navigates between the science of aphasia,
the culture of illness, and her marriage to author Paul West with
graceful and surefooted verve.
