A masterpiece of literature and memory.” — Walter Isaacson, author of Einstein: His Life and Universe “Gripping.” — Washington Post A WASHINGTON POST BOOK WORLD BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR In this literary tour de force, Karl Taro Greenfield, the acclaimed journalist and author of China Syndrome, tells the story of his life growing up with his brother, chronicling the hopes, dreams, and realities of life with an autistic sibling.
