Martin 1 Sam Martin Dr. Judith Wolfe GCC Student Research and Writing Symposium 2017 30 March 2017 Oliver Sacks and the Neurology of the Self In August of 2015, the neurologist and writer Oliver Sacks published a short paper, simply entitled “Sabbath,” in which he wrote, “I find my thoughts drifting to the Sabbath, the day of rest, the seventh day of the week, and perhaps the seventh day of one’s life as well, when one can feel that one’s work is done, and one may, in good conscience, rest” (45). Just a few weeks later, after a long battle with a rare form of melanoma in his eye, identified a decade earlier, which had subsequently undergone a cancerous metastasis in his liver, Sacks died. The loss of Sacks, a man renowned for his gentleness and his goodness, left a wound sunken deep into the flesh of the public consciousness, one which elicited grief both from his fellow neurologists and from his readers. -
