Description

What is special about the face, and what happens when neurological conditions make expression or comprehension of the face unavailable? The heart of the this book lies in the experiences of people with facial losses of various kinds. The author suggests that by studying personal narratives of such loss, we understand facial function, something of what all our faces reflect, and the facial embodiment for our sense of self.
