By the end of the year he was also the victim of a rare kind of stroke to the brain stem. In the same way, he was eventually able to compose this extraordinary book. By turns wistful, mischievous, angry and witty, Bauby bears witness to his determination to live as fully in his mind as he had been able to in his body. Again and again he returns to an "inexhaustible reservoir of sensations," keeping in touch with himself and the life around him.

We must keep looking. Jean-Dominique Bauby, The Diving Bell and the Butterfly. Today it seems to me that my whole life was nothing but a string of those small near misses: a race whose result we know beforehand but in which we fail to bet on the winner. Some of them are serious in tone, discussing the meaning of life, invoking the supremacy of the soul, the mystery of every existence. And by a curious reversal, the people who focus most closely on these fundamental questions tend to be people I had known only superficially. Their small talk has masked hidden depths.
