Shadows Bright as Glass: The Remarkable Story of One Man's Journey from Brain Trauma to Artistic Triumph by Amy Ellis Nutt

3.0

I was disappointed by this book. I felt there was a disconnect between the history of neuroscience and Sarkin's story. They could have been two separate books and been far more interesting. Plus I found the shift in tone between the history chapters and those of his life distracting. For the Sarkin bits, the language seemed overly flowery. I don't feel that this book did his life or his art justice. I also can't fathom why photos of his artwork were not included within the text.
