註釋Neurological patients, Oliver Sacks once wrote, are travellers to unimaginable lands. 'An anthropologist on Mars' offers portraits of seven such travellers--including a British Columbia surgeon consumed by the compulsive tics of Tourette's syndrome unless he is operating; an artist who loses all sense of colour in a car accident, but finds a new sensibility and creative power in black and white; and an autistic professor who cannot decipher the simplest social exchange between humans, but has built a career out of her intuitive understanding of animal behaviour.
