On Pluto

On Pluto
By:Greg O'Brien
Published on by Manjul Publishing

This highly acclaimed book is an international award winner and is written by an investigative journalist, Greg O’Brien, who is afflicted by early onset Alzheimer’s disease. O’Brien goes into his own mind to chronicle the progress of his own disease and presents a moving, but practical account of what’s it like to lose your mind, to see slices of your own identity slowly drifting away like blow balls. He likens the journey to a flyby of the dwarf planet Pluto, as seen through the lens of NASA’s intrepid spacecraft New Horizons. This is a book about living with Alzheimer’s, not dying with it. It is a book about hope, faith and humour—a prescription far more powerful than the conventional medication available today to fight this disease. Acting on long-term memory and skill, coupled with well-developed journalistic grit, O’Brien decided to tackle the disease and his imminent decline by writing frankly about the journey. He is a master storyteller. His story is naked, wrenching and soul searching for a generation and their loved ones about to cross the threshold of this death in slow motion. On Pluto: Inside the Mind of Alzheimer’s is a trail-blazing roadmap for a generation—both a “how to” for fighting a disease and a “how not” to give up.
