The Writer Who Couldn’t Read

This is just so inspiring… Howard Engel, a Canadian writer of detective stories, woke up one morning unable to read, seeing only squiggles where there should be letters on the page.

Engel was later able to write a new novel largely based on personal experience, Memory Book: A Benny Cooperman Detective Novel (Benny Cooperman Mysteries) ( CA | UK ). He later published The Man Who Forgot How to Read: A Memoir ( CA | UK ), a memoir of the time he spent recovering from the stroke.
