The Everyman’s Library edition of The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat is on sale today, with a beautiful new introduction from surgeon and writer Atul Gawande.

He captured their experiences, their hopes and fears, their humour and perseverance. It is heroic stuff, and he was well aware of its mythic resonances.” Order your copy here
