About This Item
New York, NY, U.S.A.: W. W. Norton & Company, Inc., 1998. First American Edition 1st Printing. Hardcover. Fine/Fine. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. On the morning of July 29, 1995, Robert McCrum--42 years old, newly married, at the top of his profession as one of British publishing's most admired editors, and in what he thought was the full bloom of health--awoke to find himself totally paralyzed on the left side, the victim of a stroke brought on by a massive cerebral hemorage. MY YEAR OFF is his brave and eloquent story of hope, written with the sort of candor and detail that has been missing in the literature of strokes up to this time. It is also a grown-up love story of the most realistic and inspiring kind. McCrum is the author of six novels, including, most recently, SUSPICION. Fine, in fine, mylar-protected dust jacket. A71
