The celebrated neurologist s first book, written while working at a headache clinic in the Bronx. Sacks undertook the work after an amphetamine-fueled reading of a rare 19th century migraine treatise by Edward Liveing–an experience so transportive that, decades later in The New Yorker, Sacks would write, At times, I was unsure whether I was reading the book or writing it. Inspired, he determined become the Liveing of our time, and completed the first draft of Migraine in a mere nine days–only to swear off amphetamines once and for all.
