Books by Henry Marsh
A brutal accounting by a neurosurgeon of his worst and most distressing mistakes over the course of a long and distinguished career in a specialism that offers its workers terrifying insight into the conjunction between self and matter, and the frailty of both. “That memories, dreams, and reflections should consist of jelly, is simply too strange to understand,” he writes—but Marsh does understand, and this meditative, endlessly fascinating memoir will help you to do so, too.
