Product Description

In " Proust & the Squid", Maryanne Wolf explores our brains' near-miraculous ability to arrange & re-arrange themselves in response to external circumstances. 

She examines how this 'open architecture', the elasticity of our brains, helps & hinders humans in their attempts to learn to read, & to process the written language. She also investigates what happens to people whose brains make it difficult to acquire these skills, such as those with dyslexia. 

Wolf, a world expert on the reading brain, brings both a personal passion & deft style to this, the story of the reading brain. It is a pop science masterpiece on a subject that anyone who loves reading will be sure to find fascinating.
