In \u003ci\u003eMusicophilia\u003c\/i\u003e, he shows us a variety of what he calls “musical misalignments.” Among them: a man struck by lightning who suddenly desires to become a pianist at the age of forty-two; an entire group of children with Williams syndrome, who are hypermusical from birth; people with “amusia,” to whom a symphony sounds like the clattering of pots and pans; and a man whose memory spans only seven seconds-for everything but music. Illuminating, inspiring, and utterly unforgettable, \u003ci\u003eMusicophilia\u003c\/i\u003e is Oliver Sacks' latest masterpiece.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Knopf Doubleday Publishing Group","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47025180377328,"sku":"9781400033539","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781400033539_p0.jpg?v=1763767855","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781400033539","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
