It is time that serious notice was taken of Paul Ableman.?Anthony
Burgess, author of "A Clockwork Orange"
This book is about you. How does your brain work and where do your
thoughts and dreams come from? How can you harness their creative
power? Ableman posits a crucial relationship between language and
memory and thus between language and self-awareness. Most
startlingly he maintains that the human 'person' is essentially the
language component of a large-brained animal. Ableman has
researched his theory using existing data derived from the
malfunctioning mind as manifested in schizophrenia, sleepwalking,
autism, 'out of body' experiences and nightmares. His revolutionary
claims constitute an exciting and persuasive theory of mind which
orthodox science could - and should - test.
Paul Ableman is the author of many novels, including "I Hear
Voices, VacTornado Pratt" and science fiction?"Twilight of the
Vilp"?as well as over twenty stage and broadcast television
scripts.
'The novel reads so accurately and is precisely attuned to the
details of madness that it leads us to suspect that something must
be at least slightly askew with its creator. This, by the way, is a
compliment."?"Woodstock Times"
Paul Ableman's "I Hear Voices" and "Tornado Pratt" have just been
reissued by McPherson & Company.
Combines the accessibility of Steven Pinker's "How The Mind Works"
with the startling originality of Sherwin Nuland's "Wisdom of the
Body."
