THE DAY MY BRAIN EXPLODED: A TRUE STORY
Book ID/图书代码： 00342512B53440
English Summary/英文概要： At age 25, Ashok Rajamani suffered a near-fatal brain aneurysm that caused him to have to relearn everything: how to eat, how to walk and speak, even something as basic as his sexual orientation. Writing with edgy humor and great insight, he describes the events of that day—the hemorrhage happened just before his brother’s wedding—as well as the long, difficult recovery period. In the process, he introduces readers to his loving family—his principal support group and a constant source of frustration and amazement. Irreverent, engrossing, at times wickedly funny, The Day My Brain Exploded brings the reader inside Rajamani’s head as he shares the story of the second chance he’s been given.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 腦袋血管爆裂 將他的人生砍掉重練
如今活在第二人生的他 幽默記錄這段有血有淚有領悟的旅程就在閃耀的25歲那年，Ashok Rajamani的腦袋和他的世界一起爆掉了。
Ashok在哥哥婚禮的前夕腦內大量出血，離死神只有一步之遙。這場突如其來的意外讓他「返璞歸真」，變得像小孩一樣凡事都要從頭學起。吃飯、走路、說話、甚至是性取向，都要重新來過。他的家人一路不離不棄，陪著他走過這條漫長又艱辛的復元旅途。
現在的他恢復良好，為美國腦部傷害協會奉獻所長，為腦傷患者爭取應有權利，也在寫作事業上有所成就，但仍受腦傷的後遺症所苦：他注定後半輩子半盲、聽力受損、癲癇等後遺症所折磨。即使如此，Ashok運用這次重生的機會，使用幽默、充滿才華又真情流露的語調敘述這場改變人生的意外，以及開啟「第二人生」的艱苦、感受到的愛與學習到的人生課程。(EVA)
