The Diving Bell and the Butterfly: Jean-Dominique Bauby

A memoir written by the author Jean-Dominique Bauby while he was in locked-in syndrome where he could only communicate through blinking one eye. It took ten months and 200,000 blinks to write this book.

“My diving bell becomes less oppressive, and my mind takes flight like a butterfly. There is so much to do. You can wander off in space or in time, set out for Tierra del Fuego or for King Midas’s court.”
