"Karinthy's book is, to my mind, a masterpiece. We are inundated now with medical memoirs, both biographical and autobiographicalâ the entire genre has exploded in the last twenty years. Yet even though the technology may have changed, the human experience has not, and Journey Around My Skull, the first autobiographical description of a journey inside the brain, remains one of the very best." - Oliver Sacks.
