Non-Fiction Memoir
Pulitzer Prize-winning reporter Jimmy Breslin reflects on
his life after surviving a brain aneurysm in I Want To Thank
My Brain For Remembering Me. From his childhood in Queens,
to covering stories on Martin Luther King Jr., Malcolm X and
the Beatles, to his family and reverence for Catholicism, to
the discovery, by "pure luck," that something was wrong,
Breslin recalls the events and people of his past and the
meaning they have for him in the present. This is his
personal tribute to the magic of medicine and the fragility
of all life. As Breslin concludes after the success of his
operation, "things turned out pretty well."
