Description

In his bestselling book The Mind Mappers: Friendship, Betrayal, and the Obsessive Quest to Chart the Brain, award-winning Globe and Mail Quebec reporter Eric Andrew-Gee pursues the tortured friendship between world-famous neurologist Wilder Penfield and his forgotten co-researcher William Cone.

“Andrew-Gee has written not just a biography of two fascinating brain surgeons, nor just a portrait of Montreal as a global mecca for brain research in the 1930s and 40s. He invites us into the mysterious territory of the brain itself. Engrossing, compelling, convincing.” —Rosemary Sullivan

Don’t miss this riveting onstage conversation between Eric Andrew-Gee and Anne Collins, Executive Editor at Random House Canada and author of In the Sleep Room.

Please note:  We regret the unavoidable cancellation of “52 Ways to Reconcile” with David A. Robertson. Just announced in its place: “The Mind Mappers” by Eric Andrew-Gee in conversation with Anne Collins.
