Christopher Nolan

A collection of the unique writings of Christy Nolan, who has never been able to speak or control his movements. His remarkable talent was only released when he was introduced to a muscular relaxant drug which has given him sufficient control to compose with a processor, manipulated by a 'unicorn' stick attached to his head.

Christopher Nolan nearly died at birth from asphyxiation but survived with severe brain damage, cut off in his own silent world, restricted by a mute and paralysed body. He tells how he managed to break the barriers of his impossibly cocooned existence. Whitbread Book of the Year Winner.
