In December 1995, Jean-Dominique Bauby, editor of French ‘Elle’ magazine, suffered a massive stroke that left him paralyzed and speechless, trapped in what doctors call ‘locked-in syndrome’. With only one functioning muscle, his left eyelid, he began dictating this remarkable story, painstakingly spelling it out letter by letter. His book offers a haunting, harrowing look inside the cruel prison of locked-in syndrome, but it is also a triumph of the human spirit.
Jean-Dominique Bauby was a French journalist, author and editor of the French fashion magazine Elle.
