Listening Back To Our Conversation With Oliver Sacks (Terry Gross, Fresh Air)

Famed neurologist and writer Oliver Sacks died over the weekend at 82. Sacks made a double career of exploring the human brain, and writing about the most remarkable patients and stories he found in that work. “The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat” was just one of his bestselling books. “Awakenings” another. Robin Williams played Sacks in the movie. In 2013, we talked with Oliver Sacks about life and aging. “The joy of aging,” he called it. As always, he was remarkable. This hour On Point: we listen back to our last conversation, on the last years of life, with the late, great Oliver Sacks. /Tom Ashbrook
