Book summary

In this memoir, a woman explains how her husband's personality changed after he suffered from a traumatic brain injury. Once an intellectual with a taste for obscure foreign films, he became a idiotic fan of children's mediocre cartoons who masturbated in public. In describing his long-term rehabilitation, she reveals the emotional tolls such healing processes take on patients' families.
