The best seat in the house : how I woke up one Tuesday and was paralyzed for life / Allen Rucker. by Rucker, Allen. New York : HarperCollins, c2007.

ISBN:  9780060825287 0060825286 Description:  xix, 230 p. ; 22 cm. Edition:  1st ed. Requests:  0 Summary:  Like the day Elvis died, the day you wake up paralyzed is not a day you soon forget. For writer Rucker--baby boomer, husband, father of two, aging Hollywood also-ran--life started over that Tuesday when, at the age of fifty-one, he was struck by a rare disorder--transverse myelitis--that left him paralyzed from the waist down. He was forced to reevaluate everything, from the simplest bodily functions to the mysteries of the universe. This book offers an unpretentious and unapologetic account of learning to live with paralysis. Without trivializing his situation, and without sermons or clichés, Rucker invites all readers, whether disabled or not, to identify with him for better or for worse. This comic, heartfelt book speaks to the fragility of life and to the resilience and adaptability of a single, ordinary human being.--From publisher description.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Social Science & Philosophy 362.19684 Rucker Ru Checked In Add Copy to MyList
