The River of Consciousness by Oliver Sacks Book Review

Name: Angie Boyter
Rating: 4.0 out of 5 stars
Title: A nice collection for Oliver Sacks fans
Date: Reviewed in the United States on July 17, 2017
Review: Two weeks before his death from cancer, Oliver Sacks outlined the contents of The River of Consciousness for the team that would oversee its publication. If you knew you were dying, what would you want to leave behind? It was this question as much as my appreciation of his other works that drew me to this book.
In their obituary of Sacks, the New York Times said that he wrote about “the Brain’s Quirks”, and The River of Consciousness fits that description well. It is a collection of ten articles, some of which first appeared in The New York Review of Books, on subjects like the mental perception of time and speed, the mental lives of plants and worms, the fallibility of memory, and a mental feeling of disorder. The last article, “Scotoma: Forgetting and Neglect in Science”, explores instances of significant scientific discoveries that were underappreciated or entirely ignored in their time. The first article, “Darwin and the Meaning of Flowers”, is somewhat different in subject but is quintessential Sacks: “I rejoice in the knowledge of my biological uniqueness and my biological antiquity and my biological kinship with all other forms of life….I trace back this sense of biological meaning to Darwin’s epiphany on the meaning of flowers, and to my own intimations of this in a London garden, nearly a lifetime ago”. That quote sums up well the style of the articles, which mixes science, case history, and Sacks’ unique autobiographical memories of a life wondering why and pursuing knowledge, and is often philosophical in tone.
I have read several of Sacks’ books and consider them to be aimed at a fairly intelligent and well-educated general audience. Many of these articles seem more academic in tone. If you read a hard-copy edition of the book you might want to keep your phone handy to Google terms Sacks did not bother to define, like “paraphasia” or “proprioception” or to look up a picture of a Necker cube, since I doubt a reader would appreciate Sacks’ discussion of the phenomenon fully if they were not already familiar with it. I found myself struggling to understand assertions like “Charcot was convinced …that although no anatomical lesions could be demonstrated in patients with hysterical paralyses, there must nonetheless be a ‘physiological lesion’… located in the same part of the brain where, in an established neurological paralysis, an anatomical lesion…would be found.” Unless you have a truly impressive breadth of knowledge and vocabulary, prepare to be occasionally challenged.
The River of Consciousness, in sum, is a fitting representation of Oliver Sacks: a brilliant mind rejoicing in life and eager to share his joy with the rest of us.

Title: Wide-ranging writings from a wide-ranging mind
Date: Reviewed in the United States on November 27, 2017
Review: This essay collection gathers together essays on miscellaneous topics by the late Oliver Sacks. Anyone who has read other books by the neurologist would not be surprised by the range of writings here. There are illuminating chapters on Darwin’s late-age investigations on insectivorous and climbing plants, Freud’s pre-psychoanalysis career in demystifying some of the basic anatomical and neural characteristics of the brain (much of this solid accomplishment has been lost in the drive to debunk psychoanalysis), the neurological characteristics of thinking speed (in which he speculates whether the brains of lightning-fast thinkers like Robert Oppenheimer and Robin Williams are wired differently), especially in Parkinsonian patients, and William James’s thoughts on various “forms” of consciousness that can potentially be accessed by drugs or surgery. I especially liked the final chapter on contingency in scientific discovery in which Sacks discovers anecdotal accounts of important neurological disorders from the 19th century which were forgotten and rediscovered in the 20th. Sacks always emphasized the importance of storytelling and anecdotal evidence, and this attitude is especially valuable in our age of statistics and large-scale data collection. The essay collection here is not as eloquent as some of his other books, but his honesty and intense curiosity for disparate topics comes across as usual.

Title: An intellectuall challenge
Date: Reviewed in the United States on March 25, 2019
Review: An amazing book by an amazing mind. I was so impressed by Sack’s grasp on scientific history. He was able to site works from the 17th century as well as state of the art scientific discovery. Paraphrasing: humans tend to forget experiences that don’t work in story (or theory). It may be one reason religion has such a hold on humans, because it gives story to experiences. Observations (made so eloquently in the late 1800s are largely forgotten by mankind; unless there was a theory that included the observations. Darwin, made such a splash because he provided a theory behind the observations - evolution. Science strives to validate the story through observation and through verification through extrapolation or interpolation. So that when all the “points” (or trials) “fit” the theory it is deemed true. Sack’s description of the history scientific progress being a kin to a mountain climber’s ascent of a mountain was also valuable. He didn’t see, Newton’s work, for example, being replaced by Einstein’s work on relativity; but rather Newton’s work was a picture at a given elevation - perfect in it’s description of the landscape; but one that at a higher elevation, as the ascent progressed, the landscape would look different. He saw historians as looking at the climb after the “trial and error” attempts at climbing the mountain, looking at the “royal climb” devoid for the most part of the trial and error - and countless false attempts and rouge routes. I’m struck by two things: modern day man’s relative lack of curiosity and our inattentiveness to the natural world. Instead we seem fixated on technology and the superficial. This doesn’t seem to bode well as the natural world gives insights to adaptations made over billions of years. There is SO much to be learned in the evolution that has proceeded.
And this just scratches the surface of the insights to be gained into consciousness there is in this book.
